3.4. Target Kernel Requirements

The GNU C library supplied with Sourcery G++ Lite uses the EABI-based kernel syscall interface. This means applications compiled with Sourcery G++ require at least a 2.6.16 kernel with EABI syscalls enabled.

To provide VFP and Advanced SIMD registers, gdbserver requires support from the Linux kernel. Linux 2.6.30 includes the necessary support; for older versions, visit the Sourcery G++ Knowledge Base.
