GCC 4.9 arm-nilrt-linux-gnueabi toolchain

The C library much match the one on the roborio (which is glibc irrc. We are currently just copying them off the image). The kernel headers are normal kernel headers, which can be snagged by something like this: https://bitbucket.org/byteit101/tool....sh?at=default


Depends on the platform. C++STL is anywhere that C++ compiles, but pthread is not always. Its on the RoboRIO, but not the cRIO. libx11 is not on the RoboRIO as there is no output display for X to run on.

Shameless plug: Anyone interested in maintaining arm-linux-gnueabi packages for non .deb-based linux should contact me. If the given platform already has binutils 2.24 and gcc 4.9.1, you only need to package the header files and so libs.

As I'm only an alum for a team, I have access to neither hardware nor the actual images so I didn't know what library headers I should be using. I was having a REALLY hard time getting glibc to build with a bootstrap version of GCC though, which is probably due to my relative inexperience with toolchain building. Any tips on getting building a bootstrap version of GCC that will actually build glibc?

EDIT: Also is there a preview version of wpilib i could be using?
