FIrst, you should make sure gcc/linux/glibc works for Phi, and then bootstrap them with these steps: https://wiki.debian.org/MultiarchCrossToolchainBootstrap You will need to figure out your patch for these 3 packages' debian/ staff. Is that the most current documentation for cross-bootstrap? I

host filesystem through NFS. The platform is identified as x86_64-k1om-linux-gnu; gcc, binutils and glibc support this arch Why does this need to be a new port, then? Did you try running a Debian/amd64 chroot on it, or even just a couple of statically linked binaries, to verify that?

Hi devs, I am currently trying to complie numerical simulation code Woo [1] to run on Xeon Phi. Woo is written in a mix of Python and c++, using a number of c++ libs and Python packages. As you may know, Xeon Phi is 60-core (240 Hyper-Threaded cores) card with 4-16GB RAM, Pentium-like cores
