Add arm-linux-gnueabihf linker when adding arm-linux-gnueabihf target

[johnjelinek]

Since the arm-linux-gnueabihf target will fail a cargo build --target=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf without an appropriate linker, I think the linker should be automatically checked / included in the target install.

[johnjelinek]

I'm trying to figure out how to set up the linker manually in the meantime, it's tricky: https://github.com/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng/issues/396#issuecomment-222263347

OSX doesn't allow static binaries

[bhundven]

Just disable static linking in your menuconfig, and you should be able to move forward ;)

[bhundven]

You might have to look in multiple spots. Maybe just edit the .config and grep for STATIC

[johnjelinek]

ok, retrying

ok, I guess I'm giving up for now. I suppose it's more convenient to spin up a VM w/ ubuntu to do the cross-compile. Maybe someone else can give it a shot.

[mmayer]

It's been a while since the last update to the thread. Hopefully this still helps.

Increasing the number of open files should get you past the "IBM1388.so" error.

I did uname -n 2048, but uname -n 1024 may be sufficient. (By default macOS limits open files to 256.)

[Czujackt]

@mmayer the command uname -n 2048 is wrong, you have to use ulimit -n 2048
