Well, onestly I don't know.... Can someone contact a member of the freeBSD core
team? Personally I don't think we'll have problems about this. We need
something to compile our (internal) code to do experiments and to build a
kernel. We can use Solaris or another OperatingSystem+compiler, the important
thing is that we must have an UltraSparc compiler. If we cannot do compiling
using the gcc, well we have no choose, we must use egcs.
In the future, we can use gcc if it will support UltraSparc, but now no egcs no
UltraFreeBSD. For the userland maybe we will have more problems. Anything will
be compiled with egcs if gcc does not support Ultra, and this means we cannot
distribute sources and the compiler, because we must use gcc for the userland.
(I think)
I'm trying to install egcs on my Intel box, and compile it as crosscompiler. I
hope to have it installed tomorow. (I'm cold, sorry.. 8((( )
P.S. Do experiments, use anything you want! But please document it! 8)
Ciao Ciao
