I really wish that TARGET_ARCH=powerpc64 had a tiny package repository with one item: pkg itself so that a standard bootstrap for pkg would work.
Why? A) pkg on the target needs to be built by a C/C++ compiler toolchain as things are. B) /usr/ports/base/gcc usage for getting a compiler toolchain on the target works by putting a .txz file in place for use via pkg add <THAT-.txz-FILE> in the target environment. A similar point would go for TARGET_ARCH=powerpc . (Part of the issue is that clang/clang++ in 3.8.0 and even 3.9.0 so far is not yet appropriate for general use for powerpc64 or for powerpc, such as incorrect code generation --and ABI violations for powerpc. FreeBSD's 3.9.0 experiment still has a couple of the llvm fixes not in place and llvm does not have everything fixed yet.) === Mark Millard markmi at dsl-only.net _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-toolchain To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
