Successfully created gcc16.1.0 cross compiler for aarch64 from source

[BlueAlmost]

Thanks for the reply. I did try GNAT-FSF-builds. But I really wanted a way that would do this without any dependencies other than source files from gcc, and from linux headers. So, a few bash scripts was preferable to my tastes.

Also, I wanted to compile gcc 16.1.0 WITH the algol68 language, as well as ada and fortran.

A git repo is a possibility, but thought a forum post would be better. I had seen that “Max” had a nice way to post some script files.

AArch64 cross toolchain

The community has long expressed interest in supporting Ada on ARM64 and Apple Silicon platforms. Unfortunately, GitHub Action Runners are not available for ARM for open-source projects. The publication of the Ada extension for VS Code (as well as Alire) relies on GitHub Actions, limiting ARM support. However, it turns out that creating an ARM version is still possible, and I’d like to share my experience with using cross-compilers for this purpose. Through the actions described below, I manage…

Would love to know how Max put those listings in a post.

(This had some good information for building, but also required some dependencies.)
