26.12.2. Update GCC: GCC not supported by Buildroot

Now it gets fun, but well, guess what, we will try to do the same as Section 26.12.1, “Update GCC: GCC supported by Buildroot” but:

  • pick the Buildroot version that comes closest to the GCC you want

  • if any git am patches don’t apply, skip them

Now, if things fail, you can try:

  • if the GCC version is supported by a newer Buildroot version:

    • quick and dirty: see what they are doing differently there, and patch it in here

    • golden star: upgrade our default Buildroot, test it well, and send a pull request!

  • otherwise: OK, go and patch Buildroot, time to become a Buildroot dev
