Gentoo/MIPS uClibc Stages
Saturday, December 27th, 2008Hi all…
Well, after a long hiatus, I’m working on new stages for the Gentoo/MIPS port. These new ones will be based on uClibc, and are a compliment to the existing glibc-based stages. At the moment, the initial seed environment is still being cross-compiled from my i686 host, and for now I’m focussing on mipsel but will soon turn my attention to MIPS.
These stages initially will not operate with a page size of 16KB or more, so unfortunately aren’t much good for Lemote users (I’m working with the uClibc people on this) but Cobalt and SGI users will soon once again be able to use uClibc as their system libc. The new stages will be based on uClibc 0.9.30… which is yet to be keyworded.
