+In order to compile for Nios II, you need a version of GCC with support for the generic
+system call ABI. Please see this link for more information on how compiling and booting
+software for the Nios II platform:

+================
+Nios II is a 32-bit embedded-processor architecture designed specifically for the
+Altera family of FPGAs. In order to support Linux, Nios II needs to be configured
+with MMU and hardware multiplier enabled.
