Is it the latest development version in the source tree? I think it's a good idea to have easy access to an IA-64 toolschain, whether it's the one in the source tree or a port. Although I prefer the source tree. It would be nice for example if we could select the compiler (either /usr/src/contrib/gcc.295 or /usr/src/contrib/gcc) and corresponding tools and libraries by defining a single variable (for example: USE_UNSTABLE_TOOLCHAIN (or whatever)). This makes it much easier to pick up the development compiler for those with specific needs (ie IA-64 support) and therefore allows people to approach the IA-64 porting task from a more cross-build related perspective as well.

Unfortunately no one doing IA-64 development is using publically availble toolchain sources. The Linux efforts are still using the Cygnus compiler from Feb. Soon it is hoped they will move to a newer Cygnus code base from July + patches. But that has yet to happen. > It would be nice for example if we could select the compiler (either > /usr/src/contrib/gcc.295 or /usr/src/contrib/gcc) gcc.295 is to go away as soon as I can get a 2.96 snapshot working on both x86 and Alpha. You would then use our normal way for cross development.

I'm using the toolchain from ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/private/intel/src.tar.Z with a very minor fix to deal with some uninitialised variables. I have no idea what relation that this has with the various development CVS trees that the people at cygnus use. The ia64 binutils doesn't appear to be in the mainline binutils tree as yet. > > David: does the development compiler in the source tree serve this > purpose as well, or doesn't it track development closely enough to have > all the very latest fixes in it? It would certainly be nice to be able to build an ia64 toolchain from our sources but the binutils and gdb changes might be hard to track down. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Phone: +44 20 8348 6160 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message
