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
