Re: [gentoo-dev] Test request: linux-mod support for arches with 64-bit kernel/32-bit userland

We've already made the snapshot. Also, catalyst uses genkernel for all of the external modules builds, and we've already got things in place in genkernel to do this, though it is a manual process on the part of the Release Engineer. This will definitely help us around 2007.0, though. It will require *much* more testing from us, though, as our current methods are very well tested and I'm not comfortable squeezing in a change such as this at the last minute with minimal testing, as it will definitely impact our release schedule. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

The triple ABI stuff doesn't really affect things. o32 userland on a 64bit box is the only case where you have to worry about split compilers. In a theoretical n32 or n64 userland, your system compiler (and therefore CHOST) is already 64bit, so it's one compiler for both kernel and userland. --Kumba -- Gentoo/MIPS Team Lead Gentoo Foundation Board of Trustees Such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere. --Elrond -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
