The toolchain is made up of the important binutils, GCC and GLIBC packages. Secondarily, you can add GDB to the list, but it's POWER9 disassembler support is inherited from binutils. >From my recollection, Ububtu 16.04 will use binutils 2.26, GCC 5.x and GLIBC >2.23 versions. Binutils 2.26 contains full POWER9 support, so no patches are required for that. GLIBC 2.23 currently has all of the POWER9 support we'll be able to deliver in time for 16.04, so no patches are required for that either. The only package that requires backports if GCC and those are already available in out IBM GCC 5 branch which Canonical is already pulling from. We are only missing which patches from that branch has Canonical pulled and which haven't. Maybe they have pulled them all? Given the above, I don't think marking this feature as incomplete is appropriate. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1522410 Title: [Ubuntu 16.04] Enable P9 toolchain To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1522410/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
