Mirrored Toolchains for compiling Kernels

Toolchains I've Used to Compile Kernels for Various Devices

How to unpack ?:

• Unpack a tar.xz file: tar -xvf filename.tar.xz
• Unpack a tar.gz file: tar -xvf filename.tar.gz

1. Linux 4.9:

1. Tested on 4.9.227-309: proton-12, linaro-aarch64-7.5

   • Usage: here

2. Tested on 4.9.227: clang-r416183b

   • Additinal notes:

     CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/clang/host/linux-x86/clang-r416183b/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu- # check the location of toolchain

• Tested on Linux 5.15.123 - 5.15.149

7. Other GKI 2.0 Kernels (Linux 6.1 or higher): neutron-clang, arm-gnu-toolchain-14.2.rel1-x86_64-aarch64-none-linux-gnu

• Usage: here

Additional Notes:

• In MediaTek Kernels, you must use arm-gnu-toolchain-14.2.rel1-x86_64-aarch64-none-linux-gnu toolchain alongside a proper Clang compiler to make the kernel boot :)

• Starting from March 21, 2025, all my build scripts use the ARM GNU toolchain as the CROSS_COMPILE
