Have you tried downloading one of the gingerbread repo's from code Aurora? I am not sure if they have a different version of the tool chain or not?
Not yet. See I have used the linaro toolchain that I have built both my froyo and cm7 kernels on and never had a problem. And it don't make sense that it won't build the code aurora based kernel seeing as how I basically copied over the motorola triumph source over top of it, which is what I used to base my froyo bKernel off of (just the motorola source) and linaro builds it just fine. Im gonna have to dig through the makefiles to see how its calling the linker when building. Im gonna keep trying because I want our kernel to be able to be built using a newer toolchain if it's possible.
