I wonder whether there are debian source packages for binutils, gcc and glibc having TLS/NPTL support for m68k. The patches posted to the binutils mailing list are incomplete. The binutils patch at http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/m68k/tls/ is broken according to Kolla: http://lists.debian.org/debian-68k/2009/07/msg00001.html But in that post (June 28) Maxim recommends using mainline binutils, and since then we have HJL binutils-2.19.51.0.14 released, "...based on binutils 2009 0722 in CVS on sourceware.org..." So I guess I should start there. I understand that the current GCC (4.4) lacks the necessary patches, and 4.5 is still uncooked (and that's a scary prospect). Can someone confirm that this is the necessary patch for 4.4: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-05/msg01024.html Presumably not this one? http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/m68k/tls/gcc_patch2 (and gcc_patch1 is clearly broken... perhaps it was actually the same thing before being mangled... Stephen, I don't think this "/tls" directory is helping any.) Or perhaps there is a known-good gcc 4.5 snapshot (FWIW, I'd much rather patch a debian compiler instead, which means 4.4 or preferably older.) As for eglibc, there are a number of branches listed here, http://www.eglibc.org/repository The question is, which branch, snapshot or release might meet be suitable? With this information, I could attempt to build a toolchain from upstream sources, or figure out whether or not the debian archive has the necessary source packages... Finn
