Is gcc-4.1 really the most modern > thing that is easily available? FWIW, I'm using 4.3 on all targets at the moment. See git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/toolchain.git/ for fedora-based variant of that sucker. And yes, it does include cross-to-sparc; all but sh/sh64, in fact (sh had serious compiler breakage around 4.3.0 and backporting from -HEAD was far beyond what I considered reasonable at that point). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-parisc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
