I imagine gcc is the *only* such beast. -- John Devereux

No, we mean gcc. This very well known, in fact the first link for "compiler" on google. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but if you cannot locate somwething like gcc, then it seems unlikely you are going to be able to get linux running on an embedded platform! Unless, perhaps, someone has already prepared a linux distribution for your particular hardware. For example I gather there are distributions for some linksys routers which are ARM-based. -- John Devereux

In sundar's situation, he was apparently responding to Kmann's and Devereux'x earlier comment about tcc: Devereux wrote:

Ten times faster too.
Sundar failed to actually quote that message, though, so Devereux may have forgotten about it. Actually the only tcc I was aware of is from Borland many years ago. That is apparently why he asked about Turbo C. A quick trip to Google concerning 'tcc compiler ARM' yields the better candidate. -- Thad
