We are excited to announce the release of a new version of our freely available, pre-compiled cross-compilation toolchains, hosted at toolchains.bootlin.com.
This update covers a range of 43 CPU architecture variants, including: aarch64, aarch64be, arcle-750d, arcle-hs38, armv5-eabi, armv6-eabihf, armv7-eabihf, armebv7-eabihf, armv7m, m68k-68xxx, m68k-coldfire, microblazebe, microblazeel, mips32, mips32el, mips32r5el, mips32r6el, mips64-n32, mips64el-n32, mips64r6el-n32, openrisc, powerpc-440fp, powerpc-e300c3, powerpc-e500mc, powerpc64-e5500, powerpc64-e6500, powerpc64-power8, powerpc64le-power8, riscv32-ilp32d, riscv64-lp64d, s390x-z13, sh-sh4, sh-sh4aeb, sparc64, sparcv8, x86-64, x86-64-v2, x86-64-v3, x86-64-v4, x86-64-core-i7, x86-core2, x86-i686, xtensa-lx60.
As with previous releases, we provide two editions of each toolchain: a stable version based on the N-1 releases of GCC, binutils, GDB, and slightly older kernel headers, and a bleeding edge version featuring the latest available components. For the 2025.08 release, the versions are:
- Stable version: GCC 14.3, Binutils 2.43.1, GDB 15.2, Linux headers 5.4, glibc 2.41, musl 1.2.5, uclibc-ng 1.0.45
- Bleeding edge version: GCC 15.1, Binutils 2.44, GDB 16.3, Linux headers 5.15, glibc 2.41, musl 1.2.5, uclibc-ng 1.0.45
All toolchains are built for x86-64 Linux hosts and are compatible even with relatively old Linux distributions. We welcome bug reports and feedback through our project issue tracker.
