Dear all, |

|

Inspired by the list of alternative libraries from the musl project [1] |
| 4 |
and the "native clang" GSOC project [2], I have made a bootstrapped |
| 5 |
stage4 variant that some people might wan to play with. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I have eliminated the dependency on gcc (all stdlibc++-dependencies |
| 8 |
compiled out, gcc uninstalled, alternative crtbegin/end from ELLCC |
| 9 |
included) |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
My experimental stage4 can be found here: |
| 12 |
(any good ways to share stage4 builds?) |

The current variant have a few alterations from the normal musl stage3: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
1. gcc --> clang:4 (libc++, c++abi, ellcc crt) |
| 22 |
(note: had to move __dso_handle from crt1.c to crtbegin.c for it to |
| 23 |
work) |
| 24 |
2. readline --> libedit : a surprisingly simple replacement |
| 25 |
3. openssl --> libressl |
| 26 |
4. nano --> vim (personal preference) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
+ some useful stuff (gentoolkit,eix,...) |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Several TODOs (most importantly an up-to-date llvmlinux overlay to have |
| 31 |
a self-hosting system) |
| 32 |
Another thing that would be nice is a "fake" gcc-config that can point |
| 33 |
to the clang installation (some packages like busybox rely on gcc-config |
| 34 |
to find the complier) |
| 35 |

Hopefully some of you will enjoy playing with it. I am going to abuse |
| 40 |
the system further to see how much alternative implementations I can |
| 41 |
implement in the system. |
