Clang is clearly = broken here in assuming that as can cope with anything other than native = assembler :) We normally either build gcc that knows where to find = these files.

I submitted a patch[1] to clang mailer which invokes xxx-yyy-zzz-as/ld = based on -ccc-host-triple. Patch is copy of netbsd code which is already = in clang. For me it works well, even when I use clang on Darwin host, it calls = proper as/ld. # /opt/llvm/bin/clang -ccc-host-triple arm-unknown-freebsd = -mfloat-abi=3Dsoft test.c -o test -v -c clang version 3.0 (http://llvm.org/git/clang.git = 98138cdfdee05c0afbab2b209ce8cfe4a52474e1) Target: arm-unknown-freebsd Thread model: posix [snip] End of search list.

Is there any other comment to this patch[1]? [1] = http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/cfe-commits/Week-of-Mon-20110620/043072= .html
