15 <para os="a">During the building of the cross-compile tools, you will need to
16 set a few variables that will be dependent on your particular needs.
17 You will need to select the target triplet for the target architecture, the CPU
18 endianess, the CPU architecture, the CPU mode, the CPU floating point hardware
19 availability, and (if available) the type of floating point hardware. If you
20 do not know what values can be chosen for each of these, you can use the
21 tables at the bottom of this page as a reference.</para>
22
23 <para os="a1">Most ARM processors are little endian, it is a safe choice.
24 If your processor is an ARM9, good choices include: triplet of
25 armv5l-unknown-linux-uclibeabi, ARM arch of armv5t, float of softfp, and fpu
26 of either none or softvfp. ARM9 processors do not always have hardware
27 floating point abilities. If your processor is a Cortex-A8 or Cortex-A9, good
28 choices include: triplet of armv7a-unknown-linux-uclibceabi, ARM arch of
29 armv7-a, float of hard, and fpu of vfpv3-d16.</para>

50 <para os="f1">If your target CPU has hard floating point support (not all ARM
51 CPUs do), set the following CLFS_FLOAT variable to either "hard" or "softfp".
52 If your target CPU does not have hard floating point support, set the following
53 CLFS_FLOAT vairable to "soft".</para>
