I am working on a baremetal riscv toolchain using LLVM runtime and
LLD linker. Baremetal.cpp provides most of the things needed for such
toolchain. So I have modified it to also handle riscv64/32-unknown-elf
targets alongside arm-none-eabi.
Currently, targets like riscv64-unknown-elf are handled by RISCVToolChain
which mostly expects a gcc toolchain to be present. If you dont
want the dependency on gcc-toolchain/libgloss or want to use LLD, then
RISCVToolChain is not a good fit.
So in the toolchain selection code, I have made this dependency of
RISCVToolChain on gcc toolchain explicit. It is created if gcc-toolchain
option is present. Otherwise Baremetal toolchain is created. I will be
happy to hear if there is a better way to choose between these two
toolchains.
for consistency and principle-of-least-surprise, maybe we should have the same check in the other place where toolchains::BareMetal is created?
