osmocom-bb installation problems

Hi, I am new to this list. I use ubuntu 14.04.02. I am trying to configure/compile osmocom-bb. I have a few questions and problems: According to the src/README.building file, I should get the arm toolchain from gnuarm.com This should be updated, gnuarm.com doesn't have any downloads any more. Instead I installed gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi from ubuntu reps 1) normal gcc seems to support x-compiling for arm CPUs. Why not use that? 2) Your stock Makefile tests for CROSS_HOST against arm-elf-gcc. This should be updated to test also against arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc from gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi package 3) configure warnings: configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-tests, --disable-tests. Should be disabled if not supported any more checking for arm-linux-gnueabi-mt... no checking for mt... mt configure: WARNING: using cross tools not prefixed with host triplet Is this a problem? 4) configure asks for libosmovty. Despite listed, couldn't find it under osmocom libraries any more:( Where can i download it from? TIA, Nikos
