+To accomodate the new multilib approach in Gentoo, the mips profiles will be |
| 31 |
+changing on Oct 11, 2014. The new profile structure will be as follows: |
| 32 |
+ |
| 33 |
+ [1] default/linux/mips/13.0/o32 |
| 34 |
+ [2] default/linux/mips/13.0/n32 |
| 35 |
+ [3] default/linux/mips/13.0/n64 |
| 36 |
+ [4] default/linux/mips/13.0/multilib/o32 |
| 37 |
+ [5] default/linux/mips/13.0/multilib/n32 |
| 38 |
+ [6] default/linux/mips/13.0/multilib/n64 |
| 39 |
+ [7] default/linux/mips/13.0/mipsel/o32 |
| 40 |
+ [8] default/linux/mips/13.0/mipsel/n32 |
| 41 |
+ [9] default/linux/mips/13.0/mipsel/n64 |
| 42 |
+ [10] default/linux/mips/13.0/mipsel/multilib/o32 |
| 43 |
+ [11] default/linux/mips/13.0/mipsel/multilib/n32 |
| 44 |
+ [12] default/linux/mips/13.0/mipsel/multilib/n64 |
| 45 |
+ [13] hardened/linux/musl/mips |
| 46 |
+ [14] hardened/linux/musl/mips/mipsel |
| 47 |
+ [15] default/linux/uclibc/mips |
| 48 |
+ [16] hardened/linux/uclibc/mips |
| 49 |
+ [17] default/linux/uclibc/mips/mipsel |
| 50 |
+ [18] hardened/linux/uclibc/mips/mipsel |
| 51 |
+ |
| 52 |
+There are a few points to note about the change: |
| 53 |
+ |
| 54 |
+1) Only the glibc profiles (1-12) are affected. The embedded system profiles |
| 55 |
+(13-18) will not change. |
| 56 |
+ |
| 57 |
+2) The glibc profiles will now explicitly state the ABIs. In the case of |
| 58 |
+non-multilib systems (1-3, 7-9) the stated ABI will be the only ABI available, |
| 59 |
+while in the case of multilib systems (4-6, 10-12) the stated ABI will be the |
| 60 |
+default ABI, and the others will be available by setting ABI_MIPS in make.conf. |
| 61 |
+ |
| 62 |
+3) Profiles 1 and 7 are strictly 32-bit userland, but can run under either a |
| 63 |
+32-bit or 64-bit kernel. They will have CHOST = mips-unknown-linux-gnu and |
| 64 |
+mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu, respectively. All the other glibc profiles (2-6, 8-12) |
| 65 |
+are 64-bits userland and will have CHOST = mips64-unknown-linux-gnu or |
| 66 |
+mips64el-unknown-linux-gnu. |
| 67 |
+ |
| 68 |
+4) Only users of profiles 1 and 7 need to change their profiles sym links using |
| 69 |
+`eselect profile`. However, all users should be aware of the CHOST value on |
| 70 |
+their system to ensure it remains unchanged after the profile updates. |
