Porting glibc to a new processor

[Shankara Raman S]

Hi,

We are interested in doing a port for a processor which is very similar
to ARM.
The processor does not have any floating point support (no coprocessor
either).
This processor is going to be used as a standalone(No OS) in some
streaming 
applications.

We have already ported the GNU assembler and linker for this processor
and are
currently porting the compiler. As there is no OS, there is no support
for
shared objects and dynamic linking.

We have looked at the libc code (glibc-2.2.2), specifically the ARM
dependant
portions. It looks to us that only the setjmp and longjmp routines need
be written and the rest of the library simply recompiled.

Is this sufficient or are we overlooking something ?

Regards,
Shankar
