Thanks marion,

"make buildkernel TARGET=arm TARGET_CPUTYPE=cortex-a8" is not working.

1)  How to build custom tool chain in free BSD. is there any
documentation?.
2) Which gcc version will support for cortex-A8? I want to compile FreeBSD
kernel for coretx-A8.

any one build the kernel for cortex-A8?(armv7).

Thanks
Sateesh
