It reads as if the architecture support was included in 2.31.1-16, but when I attempt to build it with 2.36.1-6, I get | checking target system type... Invalid configuration `loongarch64-linux-gnu': machine `loongarch64-unknown' not recognized I guess that you mean that you have based your work on 2.31.1-16 and you created a patch against that version. I fear this is not something we can work with. You need to mainline your work first. Only then can Debian be bootstrapped in a reasonable way. > > When describing "what is the state of ... support?", please tell: > > * If the support is upstreamed, since which version? > > * If not, are patches posted?

This time, please really answer the three questions above for each upstream project (binutils, gcc, linux, glibc). Please do include references to public online resources if available. I fear that trying to bootstrap Debian for an architecture where the toolchain support is not mainline is not an effective use of everyone's time. We've tried that for or1k and it failed. Let's not repeat that. Really do focus on mainlining first. Doing so helps not just Debian. You'll also make it far easier to add support for e.g. Yocto or PtxDist. At a bare minimum, we'd need patches that apply to the versions in unstable. Helmut
