You didn't even bother to commit your changes to a code repository -- merely
uploaded tarballs. There have been no posts to the > gcc mailing lists about
nanomips.
A mere code dump is not active development.
Maybe not, but we are in fact actively developing. :-)
Good to hear.
The nanoMIPS toolchain we inherited is based on gcc 6.3. We’ve been working on
upgrading to gcc trunk since late February, but it's not a trivial task. As
soon as we're done (hopefully before the summer), we'll propose the changes to
the gcc mailing list.
Ouch. I understand that's a big job rebasing to mainline.
In sum, we're investing in open source nanoMIPS tools because it's an important
technology for us, and QEMU is one of the key projects we want to have nanoMIPS
supported in.
Well, hopefully that means you'll have made some progress by late summer, when
qemu 6.1 is due.
