But the Advance Toolchain (AT) provides the counter example and as it's on the 13th release (follows GCC releases, AT14 coming soon) I would say useful and valid.

And a chroot will not handle that. fedora dropped support for big-endian ppc64 a while ago (looks like with fedora 29), only ppc64le is now supported. Also, mock *can* handle virtualisation / emulation in addition to basic chroots / containers, so it *does* support running builds on non-native architectures via QEMU (via the --forcearch CLI argument). Your mileage may vary though, mostly this is pretty slow :) Fabio > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
