Thanks. As reference for review: The _for-upstream-next_ branch on my server contain all patches I applied over last 1-2 years. I condensed them yesterday into the for-upstream branch. Although I diffed and compared against the grown branch twice, I hope that I didn't break stuff in the process. But at least the patch series is now much more readable and obsoleted stuff and patches were stripped ;-) Maybe somebody is interested in testing the x86 Atom toolchain. Inspired by some chat on IRC I added it as some first attempt to provide something more suitable for 'low power Intel architecures'. It seems to create slightly different code than the a generic i686 compiler. Any further suggestions for additional GCC config options are appreciated. > However, I'm very uncomfortable with putting in tons of underdocumented > distro compiler patches.

I had a short look on them and I presume that these patches shouldn't do any harm at least. But testing a toolchain is a sophisticated issue by itself ;-) For now GCC 4.5.0 and eglibc work fine. In the next days I need to unmess the related companion patches (eglibc mostly) for ptxdist itself as soon as I find some time. I also fixed some smaller bugs in the ipkg-push stuff - right now there is a bug in mainline, which prevents proper operation of the ipkg repositories after some update cycles. But more about that in some later pull-request. Carsten -- ptxdist mailing list [email protected]
