My device is Digi Connect 9210 and I want to use the latest version of GCC.

The latest Digi Embedded Linux provided uses GCC 4.3, but I want to use 5.1.

Would it work if I just build the cross-compiler on my own (Target: arm-linux-uclibc), or will I have to do extra work? I’m not familiar with low-level compilers / architecture.

By the way, not sure if it matters but I’ll be running under the latest Digi ESP ( 5.9.8 ) and the Kubuntu 12.04 for DigiEL.

DEL 5.9.8 is for Freescale platforms. The latest DEL that supports ME9210 is DEL 5.7.2

And you’d probably have to build entire toolchain not just a crosscompiler and also will have to rebuild all the libraries (busybox, uClinux, etc) on the target. This is pretty complicated and probably not worse the effort.
