As m using bash, export PATH=$PATH:/home/arslan/dir/install/bin seems to resolved this issue of arm-elf-gcc. M really grateful for your help.

After that, when i went on making the source, a new sort of error has been arrived.

It seems to be quite a big problem as compare to last one. It look like this:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/arslan/osmocom-bb/src/target/firmware'

Any idea, anyone?

To the best of my knowledge from when I first was trying to build
osmocom-bb, the error you are receiving is a result of gcc for Intel
x86/x86_64 trying to compile ARM code. There is no 'eor' instruction
for x86, which is why you get that error.

When you built the toolchain, you built a copy of gcc that compiles to
the ARM architecture. On your system, this compiler should be located
at /home/arslan/dir/install/bin/arm-elf-gcc. The message about
assuming arm-elf-gcc is inside the current path means your PATH
environment variable, not your current working directory. So, if you
add /home/arslan/dir/install/bin to your path environment variable,
the osmocom-bb build scripts will be able to find arm-elf-gcc there,
and you should not receive that error.

If you are using bash as your shell, you can accomplish this by
issuing the command:

export PATH=$PATH:/home/arslan/dir/install/bin

Cheers,
Rusty D
