Speaking of that... what is the status of support for ppc32? I have seen
lots and lots of patches go past but I am unsure of when or where the tool
changes are available.
I would defintely like to build and test the nptl support for ppc32 for
linux, so where should I find:
- the right binutils or a patch
- the right gcc version or a patch
- any required glibc patches
- is there a minimum kernel verison required - I heard a rumor
that someone (RedHat?) had backported needed changes to the 2.4.20 series
(are these patches available)?
Or are some of the required pieces still missing for ppc linux?
Thanks,
Kevin
