 Puna | i'll try to submit the grub thing from earlier when i have time (not rn) and i'll adjust the bootx stuff so cross is happier, but i don't have a clue for this one. you might have to setup either a VM or some other linux distro on the machine itself, build the image natively, and let the machine run for afew days… | 12:43:49 |

| Puna | (same error on nixpkgs master FWIW) | 12:45:51 |
| Puna | i think the issue is that we fix up the target triplet for clang by passing -target powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu, but don't have a powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld in clangStdenv.cc.bintools. only a powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnuabielfv1-ld… guh | 13:29:26 |
| Puna | -fuse-ld=<full path to corresponding bintools wrapper>/bin/<original target>-ld works… anything against throwing this into the General clang support section somehow? | 13:44:39 |
| Puna | * -fuse-ld=<full path to corresponding bintools wrapper>/bin/<original target triplet>-ld works… anything against throwing this into the General clang support section somehow? | 13:44:49 |
| Puna | "if doing cross cross and <new target triplet>-ld doesn't exist, add the above flag" | 13:45:26 |
| Puna | or it might be time to look deeper into clang and figure out how to make it just accept our full triplets like GCC does, instead of requiring all this song-and-dance. but big scary code base… | 13:46:24 |

| Puna | so it definitely also links build-grub-mkfont with a freetype for the wrong platform when cross-compiling for other targets, but it only seems to complain when there is a difference in endianness? wack…
