Hi, Will there be introduced a newer version of glibc in gNewSense metad repo for mipsel anytime soon? As far as I am able to tell, the current version of glibc is libc6-mips64_2.7 (which, I think, is over 3 years old), which does not have support for setcontext, getcontext etc.
I was able to pull off a unstable 2.11.x version of glibc from Debian MIPSel repo on my FuLoong, so I can compile Racket (Scheme-based language interpreter/compiler) - who need setcontext and getcontext to be able to work. However, I would love to be able to run Racket on gNewSense also. I saw that Graziano had some posts about getcontext in glibc on the loongson-dev mailing list but seem to have recieved very little attention from the participants about the issues. -- Cato Auestad bleakgadfly www.fsf.org / www.fsfe.org / www.gnu.org "Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like Emacs. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like Emacs. If you put Emacs in a cup it becomes the cup, if you put into a bottle it becomes the bottle. You put Emacs into a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, Emacs can flow or it can crash. Be Emacs, my friend"
