Unfortunately no one doing IA-64 development is using publically availble toolchain sources. The Linux efforts are still using the Cygnus compiler from Feb. Soon it is hoped they will move to a newer Cygnus code base from July + patches. But that has yet to happen. > It would be nice for example if we could select the compiler (either > /usr/src/contrib/gcc.295 or /usr/src/contrib/gcc) gcc.295 is to go away as soon as I can get a 2.96 snapshot working on both x86 and Alpha. You would then use our normal way for cross development.

The various IA-64 fixes are not publically available and the IA-64 toolchain used is the internal Cygnus code base. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message
