The F12 ARM initiative created ARM cross toolchain packages for i386 and x86_64 that are built from the same sources as the Fedora native toolchain packages (binutils, gcc, gdb, glibc.)  Right now these are gcc-4.1 vintage.
+
 
+
To install this toolchain on your Fedora machine, do:
+
<pre>
+
# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
+
# wget http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/cross/cross.repo
+
# yum install armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi-gcc
+
</pre>
+
 
+
This will install everything necessary to run the C compiler and cross-build ARM libraries and binaries that are entirely binary compatible with the native Fedora/ARM libraries and binaries.
+
 
+
You can find source packages for these if you are interested  [http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/cross/latest/source/ here].

== Cross-compiling ARM userland binaries ==
+
 
+
To cross-compile the canonical Hello World example for ARM, do:
+
<pre>
+
$ armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi-gcc -Wall -o hello hello.c
+
$
+
</pre>
+
 
+
== Cross-compiling ARM kernels ==
+
 
+
You can also use the cross-toolchain to cross-build an ARM Linux kernel, by changing these two lines in the top-level Makefile:
+
<pre>
+
ARCH            ?= $(SUBARCH)
+
CROSS_COMPILE  ?=
+
</pre>
+
to:
+
<pre>
+
ARCH            ?= arm
+
CROSS_COMPILE  ?= armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi-
+
</pre>
+
and then building your kernel as usual.
