     73integer division (SDIV/UDIV)
     74@item @code{thumb/armv7-m/fpv4-sp-d16}: ARMv7-M, Thumb-2 instruction set with
     75hardware integer division (SDIV/UDIV) and hard-float ABI FPv4-SP support
     76@item @code{eb/thumb/armv7-r}: ARMv7-R, Big-endian Thumb-2 instruction set
     77@item @code{eb/thumb/armv7-r/vfpv3-d16/hard}: ARMv7-R, Big-endian Thumb-2

     81Multilib 1. and 2. support the standard ARM7TDMI and ARM926EJ-S targets.
     82
     83Multilib 3. supports the Cortex-M0 and Cortex-M1 cores.
     84
     85Multilib 8. supports the Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 cores, which have a special
     86hardware integer division instruction (this is not present in the A and R
     87profiles).
     88
     89Multilib 9. supports the Cortex-M4 cores with a floating point unit.
     90
     91Multilib 4. and 5. support the Cortex-A processors.
     92
     93Multilib 6., 7., 10. and 11. support the Cortex-R processors.  Here also
     94big-endian variants are available.
     95
     96Use for example the following GCC options
     97
     98@example
     99-mthumb -march=armv7-a -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=hard -mtune=cortex-a9
     100@end example
     101
     102to build an application or BSP for the ARMv7-A architecture and tune the code
     103for a Cortex-A9 processor.  It is important to select the options used for the
     104multilibs. For example
     105
     106@example
     107-mthumb -mcpu=cortex-a9
     108@end example
     109
     110alone will not select the ARMv7-A multilib.

     106
     107Newlib and GCC provide several target libraries like the @file{libc.a},
     108@file{libm.a} and @file{libgcc.a}.  These libraries are artifacts of the GCC
     109build process.  Newlib is built together with GCC.  To provide optimal support
     110for various chip derivatives and instruction set revisions multiple variants of
     111these libraries are available for each architecture.  For example one set may
     112use software floating point support and another set may use hardware floating
     113point instructions.  These sets of libraries are called @emph{multilibs}.  Each
     114library set corresponds to an application binary interface (ABI) and
     115instruction set.
     116
     117A multilib variant can be usually detected via built-in compiler defines at
     118compile-time.  This mechanism is used by RTEMS to select for example the
     119context switch support for a particular BSP.  The built-in compiler defines
     120corresponding to multilibs are the only architecture specific defines allowed
     121in the @code{cpukit} area of the RTEMS sources.
     122
     123Invoking the GCC with the @code{-print-multi-lib} option lists the available
     124multilibs.  Each line of the output describes one multilib variant.  The
     125default variant is denoted by @code{.} which is selected when no or
     126contradicting GCC machine options are selected.  The multilib selection for a
     127target is specified by target makefile fragments (see file @file{t-rtems} in
     128the GCC sources and section
     129@uref{https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Target-Fragment.html#Target-Fragment,The Target Makefile Fragment}
     130in the @uref{https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/,GCC Internals Manual}.
