[scummvm-devel] ATTN PORTERS: New Buildbot ahead

[Philippe Valembois]

Hi Marcus,

Thanks for your test.
It's good to know that libronin is not abandoned. :)

About GCC, no problem, but can you tell me the binutils and newlib
versions you use?
Do you use the same GCC version for ARM?
If we have a full matching toolchain it would be easier to debug.

Thanks.

Regards,
Philippe
