compilation terminated.

There are no compiler support files for either gcc 5 or 6, which according to apt-cache search gcc | grep gnueabi means it can no longer be compiled with built in packages in current versions of Debian, which only include cross compilers for gcc versions 5 and 6.

Any solution to this? Thanks

Issue is way too old but I was stuck on the same problem and solved it with an inelegant way.

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS and if I'm not mistaken gcc-4.9-arm-linux-gnueabi is the most recent and suitable for use version. I was unable to directly install it via apt so I had to append the following line to my /etc/apt/sources.list;

deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main universe
then
sudo apt update and sudo apt install gcc-4.9-arm-linux-gnueabi to install the package.

To add it as an alternative:
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.9 100

Then finally

gediz@x ~ sudo update-alternatives --config  arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc
There are 2 choices for the alternative arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc (providing /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc).

  Selection    Path                                Priority   Status

I would recommend to download the required compiler from https://releases.linaro.org/archive/14.04/components/toolchain/binaries/ make -j8 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/<PATH>/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.07-1_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf- uImage...
