Getting any form of support for LLVM on ARM has been like pushing shit
up hill and has been an issue for the 2.5 years I've been working on
ARM and I get the feeling that the people that deal with it do it for
the bits that affects them because they have to not because they want
to. Not pretty but we're severely limited by resources and ability and
there's a reason we don't currently ship the a gnome build. There was
also an upstream proposal in mesa to refactor mesa to better support
EGL but that appears to have died out so we're screwed there as
well...
If anybody would like to step up and take a swing at the LLVM on ARM
issue it would be much appreciated. Some of the BZ history is here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=803433
Perhaps more importantly, we have an upstream bug filed here:
http://www.llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=15557
It's been sitting in the upstream queue as new since March- no attention
has been given to it.
As Fedora has dropped soft float support on ARM, even a workaround like
"make the default ARM ABI hard float" would likely be enough to make
llvmpipe, and consequently gnome, operational again.
Meanwhile, if somebody has an example besides gnome where ARM coverage
is falling short of x86 I'm all ears. 999 out of 1000 is pretty good.
