PSC Toolchain small analysis and advice

[HattDroid]

Hi,

I am starting to cross compile for my PSC and I was wondering is there any advantage using this toolchain over the standard 'arm-linux-gnueabihf'?

The standard one is referenced here for info:
https://github.com/xyzz/psclassic-source/blob/master/pcsx_rearmed_custom/readme.txt

Could you tell me which toolchain is used to build the current pcsx-rearmed in Autobleem?

I haven't tested deeply the result binaries but at the moment with the same options, the current toolchain gives bigger binaries for a small program than with the standard one.

Small test program:
	 8164 bytes with arm-linux-gnueabihf
	13896 bytes with armv8-sony-linux-gnueabihf

For both the following options are set:
CFLAGS=-mcpu=cortex-a35 -mtune=cortex-a35 -mfpu=neon

Also tested with cortex-a8 - as advised by the mentioned doc - with similar results.
But for some reasons setting -mfloat-abi=softfp gives me compilation errors and I can't use it.

Thanks.
