I think Gentoo will provide us with a very capable cross dev environment. I've installed Gentoo on a PS3 and used its built-in distributed compile and crossdev features to offload most compiling of the normal linux binaries for the PS3 onto my workhorse machines. Unfortunately the state of cell specific development *right now* is in my opinion still somewhat... inconvenient.
>From what I have been reading I believe gcc-4.3 and the latest version of other build utilities will clean up alot of these problems and make it very simple for gentoo distcc/crossdev machines to build gnuradio and its dependencies for the cell with SPE support. I've been hanging out on the #gentoo-ppc64 irc chan and think those guys are doing great work toward getting the distro very close to what we want. I'm just about ready to try an all gcc-4.3 based build on a number of boxes. Some info from the Gentoo cell team's tool chain status can be found at: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/cell/wiki/ToolchainStatus If anyone else is working on the PS3 Gentoo route please e-mail me and we can try to work through problems together.
