You can build gccxml on arm64 with the attached low-tech kludge. I'm not sure if the result is fit for any purpose, but perhaps it is. Strings containing "powerpc" and "ppc" appear in usr/bin/gccxml_cc1plus but perhaps they don't appear in any output from that binary, or only appear in places whe

http://gccxml.github.io/HTML/News.html says: "2015-03-26: GCC-XML has been succeeded by CastXML." If adding arm64 to gccxml really is easy, perhaps it would be worth doing, as it's blocking a few other packages. However, packaging CastXML might be more useful in the longer term. -- To UNSUBSCRI

2014-11-11 Thread Wookey
I had a look at this and whilst the fix for ppc64le is simple, for arm64 it seems a lot harder. This package seems to be based on a very old gcc, so trying to merge the aarch64 support back from later gcc's is not a trivial matter. Lots of things have changed in file layout. I'm not sure how much
