Extract XZ compressed release archive using TAR archiving utility:
$ tar -xJf <toolchain binary> -C <destination directory>
Example for Linux(x86_64) hosted for AArch64 Linux target
$ tar -xJf gcc-arm-10.3-2021.07-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz -C /path/to/destination/directory
Compute and check MD5 checksum of XZ compressed release archives using md5sum utility:
$ md5sum --check gcc-arm-10.3-2021.07-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz.asc
gcc-arm-10.3-2021.07-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz: OK
The prebuilt binary bundles can be un-tarred and executed in place. Unpack the Linux cross toolchain:
$ mkdir install-lnx
$ tar x -C install-lnx -f <filename>.tar.xz
$ PATH=`pwd`/install-lnx/<filename>/bin:$PATHKnown issues
When you decompress the windows packages, the decompression requests permission to overwrite certain files. This is because the files have similar names with different case, which are treated as identical names on a Windows host. You can choose to overwrite the files with identical names.
-
When using the toolchains dedicated for the Windows host, if you invoke the compiler from the installed toolchain's bin directory and you use the -flto option without using the -c option, then the linker generates this error message:
error: lto-wrapper failed
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
To avoid this error message, you must invoke the compiler from any directory other than the installed toolchain's bin directory.
Ask questions
For any questions, please use the Arm Communities forums (https://community.arm.com/developer/tools-software/tools)

$ mkdir install-lnx
$ tar x -C install-lnx -f <filename>.tar.xz
$ PATH=`pwd`/install-lnx/<filename>/bin:$PATHHow to build the toolchain from sources
You can build GNU cross-toolchain for the A-profile from sources using Linaro ABE (Advanced Build Environment) and provided ABE manifest files.
Below example shows how to build gcc-arm-aarch64-linux-gnu toolchain from sources using Linaro ABE build system.
Instructions
ABE has a dependency on git-new-workdir and needs this tool to be installed in /usr/local/bin directory:
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir
$ sudo mv git-new-workdir /usr/local/bin
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/git-new-workdir
Clone ABE from the URL below and checkout the stable branch (see Getting ABE):
$ git clone https://git.linaro.org/toolchain/abe.git
Create the build directory and change to it. Any name for the directory will work:
$ mkdir build && cd build
Configure ABE (from the build directory):
$ ../abe/configure
Download the toolchain manifest file from the GNU Arm toolchain page on developer.arm.com, for example: gcc-arm-aarch64-none-elf-abe-manifest.txt.
Build toolchain (from the build directory):
$ ../abe/abe.sh --manifest gcc-arm-aarch64-none-elf-abe-manifest.txt --build all
The built toolchain will be installed and available for use in the builds/destdir/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ directory.
Known issues
- When you decompress the windows packages, the decompression requests permission to overwrite certain files. This is because the files have similar names with different case, which are treated as identical names on a Windows host. You can choose to overwrite the files with identical names.
- When using the toolchains dedicated for the Windows host, if you invoke the compiler from the installed toolchain's bin directory and you use the -flto option without using the -c option, then the linker generates this error message:
error: lto-wrapper failed
To avoid this error message, you must invoke the compiler from any directory other than the installed toolchain's bin directory.
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Release Note
Release Note for Downloads 8.3-2019.03
×Features
- All GCC 8.3 features. For details on GCC 8 release series, please refer to the list of changes, new features, and fixes.
- Linaro specific pre-processor macros to ensure that this is a continuation from the Linaro releases.
- Spectre v1 mitigation backport from upstream FSF trunk include the revisions listed below. This is an initial backport of those mitigations in the GNU toolchain and should be regarded as support for prototyping and early access only. Moreover, while the backports include support for the other architectures, they are included for completeness and all issues regarding these patches must be taken up upstream in the https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla by reproducing the same with upstream FSF trunk. Arm is interested in feedback regarding these workarounds for Spectre v1. A description of the mitigation has been published on LWN.net.

Installation instructions
Extract XZ compressed release archive using TAR archiving utility:
$ tar -xJf gcc-arm-8.3-2019.02-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz -C /path/to/destination/directory
Compute and check MD5 checksum of XZ compressed release archives using md5sum utility:
$ md5sum --check gcc-arm-8.3-2019.02-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz.asc gcc-arm-8.3-2019.02-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz: OK
The prebuilt binary bundles can be un-tarred and executed in place. Assuming a RHEL6 host. Unpack the Linux cross toolchain:
$ mkdir install-lnx
$ tar x -C install-lnx -f <filename>.tar.xz
$ PATH=`pwd`/install-lnx/aarch64/bin:$PATHBuilding toolchain from source
You can build GNU cross-toolchain for the A-profile from sources using Linaro ABE (Advanced Build Environment) and provided ABE manifest files.
Clone ABE one of the URL below and checkout the stable branch (see Getting ABE):
$ git clone https://git.linaro.org/toolchain/abe.git
$ cd abe && git checkout stable
Create the build directory and change to it. Any name for the directory will work (see Building Toolchains With ABE):
$ mkdir build && cd build
Configure ABE (from the build directory):
$ ../abe/configure
And finally build toolchain:
$ cd build && ../abe/abe.sh --manifest gcc-arm-TRIPLET-abe-manifest.txt> --build all
Known issues
- Spectre v1 mitigations are provided here for early access and thus might have stability issues. On AArch32 we are currently aware of one issue as documented at PR86951.
- GDB's Python support requires Python compiled with UCS-4 support (built with --enable-unicode=ucs4) for both hosts x86_64 and i686-mingw32.
- GDB's Python support requires Python DLL dependencies for i686-mingw32 host.
