Is there a way to build a C++11 cross-compiler for the current ABI_V0 branch? I tried to make new cross-compilers a few months ago, but it only built GCC 4.6.4, which is too old unfortunately. Are the newer compilers only available for ABI_V1, or I can use some configure switch to get them on ABI_V0 as well? Thanks!

building newer aros cross toolchain for abi v1 would require for instance --with-binutils-version=2.25 --with-gcc-version=6.3.0 flags.

you might ask that on dev ml too, looks like it is up again. or join us on slack. nick has probably most insights..

Nice, I didn't know about these switches. It looks like for ABIv0 there's 5.3.0 and  6.1.0 which will do perfectly.

btw. should you port some stuff using build aros system/cross toolchain you can always share the sources with me to ensure it compiles for abi v1 platforms, or if mmakefile needs to be written.

Yes, GCC 4.8.3 is there as well, but I already used 5.3.0 to compile the same project for MorphOS and OS4, so I'll go with that one. For C++ the newer the compiler the better anyway. The source code will be available in my GitHub forked repo once I'm done, I'm not a fan of "closed open source" ports  ;)

Drats. The 5.3.0 and 6.1.0 GCC patches are incomplete for ABIv0, because they don't add support the "-newclib" switch, so the compilation fails before everything gets built. I somehow still have the SDK libs/includes, but I forgot to put in the contrib sources, and now it refuses to build it separately. I guess I'll try 4.8.3 which has this switch, and according to the GCC site has a feature complete C++11 implementation.

I almost forgot about this, but here's my modified GCC 6.1.0 patch for ABIv0.
