[Avila] Snapgear arm linux toolchain with shared library support

[Chris Lang]

the --disable-shared flag. However, this does not mean that every executable
is statically linked. What this means is that the libs of gcc will only be
built statically. Which means that only the libs of libstdc++, libffi, and
libobjc of the snapgear toolchain are static. So if you have a program build
against those particular libs then they will be included statically.
However, your other binaries that build against libs like libc, etc will be
dynamicly linked.

Subject: [Avila] Snapgear arm linux toolchain with shared library support
Subject: [Avila] Hi,
 
I need a toolchain which supports dynamic linking on a Gateworks Avila 2342.
 
The snapgear arm-linux-gcc 3.3.2 was compiled with "--disable-shared" which
means that every executable is statically linked, which makes them huge.
 
However the "file" command still says the following:
 
#> file foobar
foobar: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, ARM, version 1 (ARM), for GNU/Linux
2.0.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
 
 
Is there a snapgear specific gcc version available that was build without
"--disable-shared"?
