From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Jim Wilson Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2000 23:54:29 +0000 Subject: [Linux-ia64] new toolchain snapshots Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org I am making available new toolchain snapshots, based on July FSF gcc sources. These snapshots are available from ftp.cygnus.com in pub/ia64-linux. The current snapshot is in the snap-000828 directory. The new toolchain is intended to support glibc 2.2. Because of ABI changes, the new toolchain will not work as is on any existing glibc 2.1.3 based system. There is a README.glibc213 file that will revert some of the ABI changes allowing the toolchain to mostly work on existing systems. This is just a temporary workaround until glibc 2.2 based systems are available though, and I don't expect to support this use of the toolchain. The new toolchain is not as robust as the February-based toolchains yet. There are a number of reported bugs against cpp that need to be investigated and fixed. There are some DV related problems that should be fixed. Etc. I won't consider this a production quality toolchain until someone has managed to build a complete working linux system from it. That hasn't happened yet. If you want to build kernels from this toolchain, then you must use 2.4.0-test7 or later. This toolchain will not build earlier kernels because of optimizer changes that exposed problems with some of the extended asms in the kernel. Jim
