Introduction
Hello everyone, these are some arm and arm64 toolchains I have compiled using a script created by @USBhost and modified by @frap129 and me. I know the concept of toolchains is not a new one, as there have been many specialized/optimized variants. However, some people may want a pure/unaltered toolchain for certain projects. That's what this will be, a generic/simple toolchain configuration. These will be done on a semi-nightly basis. They have been tested on up to date Arch Linux and Ubuntu 17.04 systems. If you know how to use scripts or cross compile, feel free to skip straight to the downloads!
Configuration
The GNU (standard or unlabeled) toolchains are built from GNU's latest gcc-7-branch. The Linaro toolchains are compiled from the linaro-local/gcc-7-integration-branch branch.
These are the additional components:
These toolchains are statically linked so they should work on any 64-bit Linux system; let me know if there are any issues with this.
Build script
These were compiled with crosstool-NG, which is extremely versatile but a little complex for the average user. Instead, I offer a build script in this repo to compile very similar toolchains (they will not be statically linked but that's no issue if you are only compiling on your machine and they won't have bionic). It has been modified heavily from the original repo to support two different architecture configurations (more can easily be added upon request).
To learn more about the script, give the README a glance, as it will be more up to date than the thread.
Using the toolchains
Please see the README.
Issues?
If you run into any issues with either using or compiling these toolchains, please do one of the following:

Issues?
If you run into any issues with either using or compiling these toolchains, please do one of the following:
- Open an issue on Github. Use the toolchains repo for issues with using, use the script repo for issues with compiling.
- Make a post on here.
