Hello, this message may be interesting mostly for ludo, but concerns nixpkgs users a bit, so I send it to the list.
ludo proposed merging soon the stdenv-updates branch to trunk, after stabilization. I've been trying to get the gcc 4.4.2 native compilers in the sheevaplug, and that fails because of lack of recent enough binutils in the bootstrap files. I will try to overcome this, and generate new bootstrap-files. Regarding the usage of gcc 4.4.2 compilers to cross-build, I think gcc 4.4.2 has some bug: http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20091119.140407.040d3c5b.en.html It looks like cross-gcc 4.4.2 does not build well without a libc, while gcc 4.4.1 and the svn branch 4.4.3 do. Regarding glibc, 2.11 still did not have the "ports" until today. I will start testing it in the sheevaplug. If anyone feels any interest in getting these things working, welcome. Atentament, Lluís. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
