And the most exciting news about that is of course that it has support for OpenRISC. Read the release note and get your own copy at http://www.musl-libc.org/download.html
For those who don't know what musl is, it's a small lightweight libc, with the intention of being as standard compliant as possible. It's a serious contender to uClibc, and has the following benefits over it: - Easy (and fast) to build. No other dependencies than a compiler for the target. - Well maintained. uClibc is getting a lot of heat for not have done a release in ages. - Well written and structured code. And then some additional benefits that are OpenRISC specific. - Has upstream OpenRISC support. (yes, this is our first "official" libc). - Use the new atomic instructions (instead of the atomic syscall). - Support for posix threads (we don't have nptl support in uClibc). I did a post to the musl mailing list how to setup a toolchain and compile musl for or1k, I'm not going to repeat that here, but just link to it: http://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2014/07/19/5 Stefan _______________________________________________ OpenRISC mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openrisc.net/listinfo/openrisc
