This is fine, although I also made a cross compiler
based on binutils 2.16.1/gcc 4.0.2. I found that the
latest gcc 4.0.2 has a few bugs in which I wouldn't
put a lot of faith on it at the moment. The GCC
3.4.4/3.4.5 releases seem a lot more stable and well
tested in various distros.
I had started with GCC/G++ as well as the PowerPC
32/64 compiler as we should have that covered from the
start. Since build environment seems validated, maybe
its time to really look at the kernel with Sun and
list what is left. There are a few professional
compiler and app porting companies for GCC/G++ code,
so I didn't worry to much about that part. I really
wanted to see how the OpenSolaris kernel code can be
ported to PowerPC and what else is left that is
holding us up.
- MMU
- GRUB (UFS(2))
- ELF32/64
- binutils/GCC
- more stuff
- Marvell docs (for those without... NDA ?)
The dam is about to break...
