Hello *,
a new toolchain would likely be the first objective.

I recall the line of thinking, at the time, was that cross-compiling is no
different
than a CUDA enabled toolchain (ref. goolfc), with alternative binutils etc.
Certain aspects though that involve the target arch (incl. testing) would
require
some form of patching in order to integrate the builds better to a given
platform.
fi. if you try to build ATLAS on, say, a Cell microprocessor, there IS a little
bit of homework to do, but even that work to be done is orthogonal to
easybuild...
anyone to offer any counter examples to that last statement?
cheers,
Fotis
