Hi all…

Yep, the first 64-bit userland stageballs for Cobalt are well underway. A stage 1 tarball is being uploaded right as I type this, and Catalyst is just starting up the bootstrap script now to get the stage 2.

I also began a build for µClibc, but I’ve hit technical issues with Portage there, which I need to work through before I can make stages with it.

I won’t mention the link where to download them at this early stage, because these are über-experimental. They’re totally inappropriate to be used as a root userland, even on a crash-and-burn box at this stage, and will likely be that way until at least 2007.0 or even 2007.1. For those who know what they’re doing, I’m happy to provide the links to these experimental builds, ping me on IRC/IM, or shoot me an email.

On other news… the stable 32-bit glibc builds for 2006.1 will soon be moving to a mirror near you.
As always, I’ll keep you posted on the progress.
