Hi Folks, I am working on porting Haiku OS to PowerPC systems. Thus, I would like to write a patch for gcc so I can write a cross compiler that will target powerpc-*-haiku as elf. While I am doing this, I might also update i586-pc-beos to work with i586-pc-haiku and add sparc-*-haiku too. There is already an existing target of powerpc-pc-beos but this uses pe or coff, the PowerPC port of Haiku isn't interested in retaining backward compatibility so we will be using elf as the ix86 version does. SPARC is new and I have put it in as someone asked for this. The Haiku project currently relies on gcc version 2.95.3, so I would need to work on this version. All the guides I have read deal with later versions of gcc and some of the files I have been looking for are not present. Would it be possible for someone to give me an overview of what is needed? For people who don't know what Haiku is, is an open source rewrite of Be Inc's BeOS. More information on this project can be found at http://www.haiku-os.org/. -- Thanks, Andrew McCall andrew.mccall@xxxxxxxxx
