I think we need to stick with 2.16.1, I don't know whether porting brickos to
elf is really worth the trouble.
Newer gcc versions would be nice, indeed, and brickos also builds fine with
(some of?) these, but I never actually got it to run on the bricks when building
with anything newer than what we currently ship in Debian. If you gather some
patches and Stephen could try them out and gets it to work, I'd happily package
newer gcc versions. I think the problem always was some issue about BSS size - I
had fixed the ld script, but it didn't work anyway. Still, I might just have
been missing the proper patches.
Best,
Michael
