About:
x86_64-elf-gcc is a specialized GNU Compiler Collection build targeting the x86_64 architecture without a standard operating system. It produces raw 64-bit ELF binaries suitable for bootloaders, kernels, and bare-metal firmware. This tool is essential for low-level systems programming and operating system development.
Key Features:
  • Compiles C, C++, and other languages to x86_64 ELF object files
  • Generates freestanding binaries independent of any OS
  • Provides full control over linking and memory layout
  • Supports cross-compilation workflows
Use Cases:
  • Developing 64-bit operating system kernels
  • Writing bare-metal firmware and bootloaders
  • Creating embedded systems for x86_64 platforms
Alternatives:
  • clang – LLVM-based alternative with similar cross-compilation capabilities
  • gcc – Standard GCC for host systems, not configured for bare-metal targets
