Everybody seems to be stuck on 2.95 still, and the only other version I've seen in use for m68k-amigaos is 3.4 (along with notes saying it doesn't generate as good 68k code compared to 2.95) as we discovered with beos, gcc 2.95 support is a bit hit and miss. Though I beleive the main issue there was g++, even so I fear 2.95 is too primative and is almost 14 years old at this point. There are loads of patches here: https://github.com/cahirwpz/m68k-amigaos-toolchain There are an excessive number and I have no idea which are relevant. That is terrifying, I really do think that if they want continuing compiler support they need to look at a modern gcc version or a clang port. Alas wishing does not make it so, being pragmatic, if there is a cannonical cross toolchain for the target I might be persuaded to put it on the CI as long as we can package it under /opt/netsurf correctly so builds are repeatbale. I dislike this a lot but if it is the only way... I've pushed the patches to make libcurl build as a pure clib2 library, so the SDK at least completes. Excellent, thanks for that. I pushed the rebuild on the CI so we should be able to get a build through in an hour or so. I also enabled the target for most of the libraries, as expected the netsurf build itself does not yet work but when you are ready let me know whats needed and I will turn it on.

m68k amigaos toolchain
I have attempted to get the m68k-unknown-amigaos toolchain up so i can get the CI system building for the target[1]. I managed to get the main toolchain building once I fixed the already known issues with gmp and autoconf versioning (applied the same fixes we already had for the ppc-amigaos toolchain) I have unfortunately failed to make the SDK build. libcurl is failing because of a missing include. This can be seen in the CI systems build log [2] If someone knows the answer to this please can they apply it to the toolchains repo and let me know. Once this is working I will sort out adding this target to the libs and netsurf.

This can be seen in the CI systems build log [2] The cause is because we are missing the AmiTCP includes. However, I'm not sure adding them is the correct solution. I think what we should be doing is removing the Amiga-specific stuff from curl (as we do on ppc-amigaos) and using the clib2 functions, as it should be able to handle this itself. Unfortunately I can't get a working curl binary out of it using either method. Furthermore, there's something broken in the compiler as everything it builds causes a system freeze on exit. If someone knows the answer to this please can they apply it to the toolchains repo and let me know. Once this is working I will sort out adding this target to the libs The libs appear to build ok, which is nice. and netsurf. Not much chance of that for the moment. I was prodding the m68k toolchain in the hope that if I got it working it would encourage somebody to back-port the OS4 frontend to OS3 (or at least make it easier for me to, very slowly, do the required work).
