 dramforever | rustcTarget madness is the only thing between me and a cross'd mips3 nixos rn | 11:12:14 |
 emily | wait Rust does MIPS now? | 11:37:48 |
| emily | I remember we had to figure out if that was a problem when switching to stc-ng | 11:38:02 |
| dramforever | mips64el is close but it's mips64r2 | 11:53:08 |
| dramforever | mips3 has less instructions but is the same abi | 11:53:21 |
| dramforever | hence, me banging my head to get rustc to use a target json | 11:53:34 |
| dramforever | properly | 11:53:51 |
| dramforever | in case you are wondering yes the whole point of getting rust working is stc-ng | 11:56:05 |

wait Rust does MIPS now? It was demoted due to lack of maintenance, but has always been there | 11:57:54 |
| emily | oh, we just can't native build it? | 11:58:12 |
| Alyssa Ross | They stopped making bootstrap tarballs | 11:58:47 |
| Alyssa Ross | Because they didn't work | 11:58:50 |
| emily | right | 11:58:58 |
| emily | always a good sign | 11:59:03 |
| emily | ok then I don't feel as bad about saying that it's likely we're going to have Rust in the boot path of non-switchable NixOS systems soon :P | 11:59:21 |
| dramforever | yes, if you have mips64r2 it's all good | 12:00:03 |
| dramforever | and if you don't not even debian supports your hardware now | 12:00:24 |
