That's fine for me :) For the users it's way more important to have a stable build than a bleeding edge build. You guys know, what you are doing, you have my trust.

So I did my own build. It's a bit hard to find out, which patches work and which are outdated, but it was only bmp-resize for me, so that was not too hard, took it from tdtooke ;)

Topic is solved for me :)

edit:
Almost forgot:
@ GodEater: Well ... Seems to be a real big argument for staying with one fix version. But with that script mentioned by BigBambi it's really not a big deal, except if you then have two different versions in your PATH, but I'm sure there is a solution for this as well, although I don't know, how to tell make, which version to take..

Indeed - when (and if) we find a newer version of the cross compilers that we like and work well, then rockboxdev.sh will be updated to download and install that instead.

Is there something you specifically needed a later version of arm-elf-gcc for ?

Army:
Will there also be an announcement, as soon as this happens? Because I think I won't look into that script every time I update my build, maybe from time to time or so.

AlexP:
Yes, if this ever happens it will be announced.

Army:
Great! :)

Me @ complete satisfaction :)
