No, I'm not trolling, just venting here for a moment. So sick of garbage ass, crusty junkware that's always a battle to the death to accomplish anything.
I really understand where Liu Hao was coming from yesterday when he was in here raging against the AT&T assembler. I could sense the bitterness and disgust in him, the kind that can only come from a lifetime of bitter disappointment in the status quo. It's like he's just as sick and tired as I am of broken ass, buggy software. GNU GCC/GLIBC IS THE MOST PAINFUL PIECE OF SHIT FUCKING SOFTWARE ON THE PLANET TO BOOTSTRAP. Not even the flaming pile of dogshit that is PYTHON comes close to the misery and hell awaiting any hapless person who wants to accomplish what ought to be the Simple And Straightforward Fucking Task of bootstrapping a cross-compiled GNU gcc/glibc/binutils system. I have been working on this project FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR and the pain just never seems to end. I've encountered every shitty, stupid, inane, puzzling, worthless, completely nonsensical error message that could possibly be generated by a piece of software, which almost NEVER leads toward figuring out exactly went wrong, but usually just deeper into the quagmire. Seemingly the only way that will ever finally get this junk working is to just sit there randomly trying different stuff in the hope that it somehow moves one closer toward getting something that works right. /rant -- Dave Blanchard <d...@killthe.net>
