Like to get people's opinions on a new global USE flag for crossdev. |
| 2 |
This would be needed because there are some patches that need to be |
| 3 |
applied to gcc/glibc that are needed only for a cross-compiler to be |
| 4 |
built, and I don't want said patch interfereing with normal, day-to-day |
| 5 |
useage. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Some examples include the patch found here: |
| 8 |
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-10/msg01647.html |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
That patch needs to be replicated for several archs to build a bootstrap |
| 11 |
gcc-3.4 compiler properly (tested to be needed on ppc, sh4). Probably |
| 12 |
not the best workaround, and as one of the followups to that URL above |
| 13 |
indicates, there is a more desirable alternative. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Also, some patches need to be applied to glibc for some archs to build, |
| 16 |
notably sh4 (for anyone looking at the possibility of Gentoo/Dreamcast). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Said USE Flag would mostly be applicable to gcc, glibc, and binutils. |
| 19 |
Possibly kernel-headers too, if needed. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Any objections? |
