armlinuxgnueabild

Armlinuxgnueabild is a cross-compilation target identifier used in some ARM Linux toolchains to describe a particular ARM Linux GNU ABI configuration. It is not a universally standardized GCC or GNU triplet, and its exact meaning can vary by toolchain. In general, terms like armlinuxgnueabild are used to indicate an ARM architecture running Linux with a GNU-based userland and a specific dynamic linking convention, with the trailing letters reflecting the particular ABI or linker setup chosen by the toolchain vendor.

The naming follows a broader pattern in cross-compilation where a target triple is composed of architecture, operating system, and ABI. While more common and widely documented variants include arm-linux-gnueabi or arm-linux-gnueabihf, armlinuxgnueabild represents a less common or vendor-specific variant. The final character or sequence in such names can denote distinctions such as dynamic vs static linking, or a particular dynamic linker path, but there is no single standard interpretation across all projects.

Usage context for armlinuxgnueabild typically appears in legacy or embedded development workflows, such as older OpenEmbedded, Buildroot, or custom toolchains. It serves as an identifier for selecting a cross-compiler, sysroot, and libraries appropriate to the target environment. When encountered, developers should consult the specific toolchain’s documentation to confirm the exact meaning of the triplet and the correct way to configure builds, including compiler prefixes and sysroot layout.
