gcc-3.4.5 from :

gcc-4.1.2 version from :
http://clfs.org/view/CLFS-3.0.0-SYSVINIT/
(this one is originally gcc-4.9.3 but i downgraded it to compile with
"--with-float=soft", which i could not get working with gcc-4.9.3 -- i
might try again later. it was quite some time ago.)
the environment for ppc and arm, are chrooted, with only /proc /dev/pts
mounted. no /sys. (does not seem to pose problem for arm version)
gcc built with: (overwriting gcc-4.9.3)

i remembered seeing the check when compiling musl. it must have been ok,
othersize it refused to compile. (that is why i downgraded gcc-4.9.3)
building with gnu tools has always been a huge pain for the last 18
years... i am using musl wrapper to compile static commands, it seems to
work well enough. my arm board has only 256m of memory, sometimes
configure takes longer to run then the actually compiling ... anyway, i
have no access or information on native musl toolchain. i used to use
uclibc wrapper, but it was too old, and the newer uclibc seem difficult
with lots of options. i am converting glibc compiled commands to musl. i
am about 33% done.
