I'm wondering whenever this still makes sense. I guess it was very
useful in the early arm days where you need a cutting-edge compiler with
the latest fixes applied to properly build edk2. Meanwhile mainline gcc
should work without any problems. I'm simply using the distro cross
compiler packages (gcc-arm-linux-gnu.rpm and gcc-aarch-linux-gnu.rpm on
fedora) with zero problems since years. As far I know debian/ubuntu
have cross compiler packages too.
Fedora is at gcc11 meanwhile, so I don't expect the gcc7 -> gcc10 switch
will trouble. I don't do platform builds though, only ArmVirt.
take care,
Gerd
