Hello,
I think the original issue with this thread was not that you were trying and asking for assistance but rather requesting for someone to walk you through steps on how to use a toolchain and provide you source code.
The problem with the former is that all of the information can be found online - there are a lot of tutorials, resources, and even the manuals to help you with setting up a toolchain.
The problem with the latter is that requesting source code for a complete set up shows no effort on your part.
Neither of these are OS development related topics. It is fine if you are a beginner to a toolchain, but there are resources available. If you are a beginner in OS development and asking these types of questions, that is an issue as you should know your toolchain prior to attempting to develop an OS with it. This is why I personally always recommend new OS developers to use the toolchain they fell most comfortable with.
