Yes, we do. Rust especially is killing the entire FOSS ecosystem.
Could we leave out politics out of this discussion, please?
These all are conditio sine qua nōn when it comes to continuing
Linux/m68k, as a whole.
Exactly.
Absent the right conditions, perhaps it is best focus limited porter and
developer effort on patching only those packages that are really required.
I tried my hand at Qt5. About 20 man-hours in I essentially gave up,
and that was without even getting to something I could put to a
compile and runtime test.
Yep, that's exactly my experience as well while building with 32-bit alignment
just made it work.
“Natural” alignment of data types has essentially become a requirement
these days, and m68k is the only true outlyer (i386 could in theory, but
the Unix psABI designers were sensible enough to not do it).
Agreed.
