I'd recommend looking into libatomic-ops and > libffi early. The other packages are usually simple. I guess almost all of the packages you mentioned already have needed improvements for ARC. 1. libffi has ARC support since v3.1, see: https://github.com/libffi/libffi/commit/b082e15091961373c03d10ed0251f619ebb6ed76 2. libgpg-error has ARC support since v1.33, see: http://git.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=libgpg-error.git;a=commit;h=48c8f8ddfc80 3. nspr has ARC support since v4.1, see: https://hg.mozilla.org/projects/nspr/rev/cc73b6c7dab2e8053533e1f2c0c23dc721e10b76 And only for "libatomic-ops" & "guile" nothing has been done yet so if there's something that really needs to be done please let us know. -Alexey _______________________________________________ linux-snps-arc mailing list linux-snps-arc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-snps-arc
