[ACTIVITY] Weekly status
== This week == * Looked at the MIPS _unpack_d bug. libgcc.a did have a definition, and Michael couldn't reproduce with his build, so the bug report is now marked as Incomplete. * Backported patch for PR 48190 to upstream 4.6 and 4.5. * Reviewed Revital's SMS register-pressure patch. * More on -fsched-pressure. I now have a version that I'm happy with as far as ARM goes, in that it usually seems to produce code that is no worse than the better of currect -fsched-pressure and current -fno-sched-pressure. (I'm sure there's a better way of saying that.) In some cases it is better than both. * Continued trying to catch up on mail. == Next week == * Clean up the -fsched-pressure code (it's still in its "experimental mess" state). Try it on Power. * Resurrect vzip and vunzp patch after Richard E said he wouldn't object.

Hi, I've spent most of my time to dig into OE. First I started with OE (classic); then realized that OE-core is where the future happens and switched to it. I've set up a build system and got a ARM minimal image to build that boots in QEMU *yay*. In parallel I've been reading the manual and looked into the receipts to find out what toolchain they are using (gcc-4_6-branch plus patches). Next step is to get the OE-core built using the Linaro-GCC. Regards Ken ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
ICS + linaro-gcc 4.6 = working :)
Hi, Good news -- I just built a version of ICS with the current version of linaro-gcc. Panda build here: http://people.linaro.org/~bernhardrosenkranzer/boot.tar.bz2 http://people.linaro.org/~bernhardrosenkranzer/system.tar.bz2 http://people.linaro.org/~bernhardrosenkranzer/userdata.tar.bz2 Use linaro-android-media-create as usual to install. This is not yet a build that we can reproduce inside android-build because I've had to cheat by swapping out linkers in a couple of places (just using current binutils the way we normally do produces a build that doesn't boot, using binutils built from the AOSP source release works, but the prehistoric linker doesn't know about "dmb st", can't link u-boot, can't link the kernel, and strangely enough can't link some components of ICS - apparently the binaries they ship have some extra patches in). But the good news is that every part is built with our compiler - there's nothing in the way of using that (aside from the code insanities I've already fixed). I'll work on sorting out binutils now... ttyl bero ___ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
