 Puna | for https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/490944 (Clang just not being happy with -gnuabielfv{1,2} in platform triplets, and requiring hacks to understand what we want it to do)
thinking if it might make sense to go back to allowing -gnu on ppc64, and handing the ELF ABI version via gcc.abi, since that seems more portable w/r/t Clang… | 21:08:42 |

 hexa | as soon as you find someone else who cares | 22:30:16 |
| hexa | but you can of course create a new room yourself | 22:30:30 |
| hexa | onboarding of new rooms is currently limited by moderation capacity | 22:30:43 |

 Artemis Tosini (NixOS) | It seems like the x86_64-unknown-freebsd bootstrap has some old headers and you can't build FreeBSD 15 with it. I'm testing an updated version now, but how would I go about getting that upstream? | 17:36:52 |
 emily | there's a README somewhere | 17:38:50 |
| emily | (not very helpful I know…) | 17:39:14 |
| emily | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/79e754eef2cccb2d293a16b63cf3985ffeb57ceb/maintainers/scripts/bootstrap-files | 17:39:51 |
| Artemis Tosini (NixOS) | It might be possible to move some packages from using bootstrap headers to using headers from the freebsd tree, but I'd need to investigate that | 17:41:50 |
| Artemis Tosini (NixOS) | And if we're using bootstrap libs anyway then updated headers won't be all that useful | 17:42:13 |
| Artemis Tosini (NixOS) | Thanks | 17:43:57 |
| emily | I'm surprised the bootstrap has headers in it at all | 17:46:28 |
| emily | well, I guess our existing bootstraps probably have e.g. Clang-internal headers | 17:46:41 |
| emily | but not system ones AFAIU | 17:46:44 |
| Artemis Tosini (NixOS) | Yeah, I'm somewhat confused by that as well. rhelmot did most of the bootstrap work, and I guess there was some need for it | 17:47:34 |
