Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-linux-mips@oss.sgi.com Precedence: bulk Return-Path: X-Orcpt: rfc822;linux-mips-outgoing Sorry to bring this topic again, but I cannot seem to sort out all the pieces of info together to get a consistent picture. Below is what I gathered through the recent emails on the lists. Please take a look and correct any mistakes. Particularly I like to know which version is considered STABLE today. Perhaps there is also issue what version works with what. Also, let me know if I miss something. In the end I like to put it on a web page and track the future toolchain developments - for lazy hackers. :-) Jun 1. binutils ----------- a) latest binutil cvs tree (v2.10) + debian patch http://sourceware.cygnus.com/binutils/ ftp://ftp.rfc822.org/pub/local/debian-mips/patches/rel32-binutils.diff b) Andreas Jaeger recommanded Ulf's patch against the CVS tree. He recommanded ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/src/binutils/binutils-000420.diff.gz. But I only found the following file. ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/binutils/binutils-000424.diff.gz c) What about those patches at the same ftp sites (v2.8.x)? ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/binutils/ 2. gcc ------- a) the cvs tree on oss.sgi.com (v2.7.2?) Any patch needed for TODAY's tree? Ralf seems to suggest his patch posted on 09/08 is still needed (constructor, Keith gcse, etc). b) Ralf's patch against egcs 1.1.2 ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/src/egcs/egcs-1.1.2.diff.gz c) Ralf's patch against egcs 1.0.3a. (Where is the base tar ball?) ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/egcs/egcs-1.0.3a-2.diff.gz d) Andreas said the current development version 2.96 worked - with the later binutils and gcc. 3.glibc ------- a) the cvs tree on oss.sgi.com (v2.0.6). Any patch needed? Florian pointed out the following patch. I am not 100% sure if it is aginst the current sgi CVS tree. Any confirmation? ftp://ftp.rfc822.org/pub/local/debian-mips/patches/rel32-glibc.diff b) Andreas is trying to get glibc 2.2 working. Definitely bleeding edge stuff. http://www.suse.de/%7Eaj/glibc-mips.html c) Maciej reported he got binutils v2.10 working for glibc 2.2. No details or any distribution. d) glibc v2.0.7 from linux-vr project by Jay ftp://ftp.place.org/pub/nop/linuxce/ ftp://ftp.place.org/pub/nop/linuxce/rpms/glibc-2.0.7-20.src.rpm
