Where can I download ARM compiler v4.9.7?

I don't have an answer to your immediate question, but I can say that later versions of the compiler/linker should be able to handle object/lib files generated by 4.9.7 with no trouble. What sort of errors are you getting?

Specifically, there is an error when trying to build rtsv7R4_A_be_v3D16_eabi.lib. This file doesn't exist in the 5.1.8 compiler distribution that I am using. Only rtsv7R4_T_be_v3D16_eabi.lib. If I switch the runtime support library from automatic to rtsv7R4_T_be_v3D16_eabi.lib explicitly, the project builds with no errors. However, I am hesitant to use the 'T' version without better understanding the issue.

This answers my question. You are correct though that the compiler change is not really the solution I am after. The automatic runtime library build setting is causing an error when trying to build, not the compiler. I can't figure out why it won't build the library though.

If you are running under Windows, see http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Mklib#Troubleshooting for some reasons why the automatic runtime library build may fail.

It's got to be something with my Windows setup. I was able to build the library on another machine with no problems. But for reference, I did try all applicable suggestions from your link with no success. Thanks Again.
