 Alex | I suspect that overriding pkgsCross.whatever.stdenv.cc is sufficient, though I can't remember how.
Maybe replaceStdenv? | 12:18:41 |
 Puna | i don't see why they shouldn't be upstreamable. prolly just a matter of "someone needs to find the time to submit them to those upstreams"? | 12:21:47 |
| Puna | * i don't see why they shouldn't be upstreamable. prolly just a matter of "someone (ideally the patch author) needs to find the time to submit them to those upstreams"? | 12:22:26 |
| Alex | There can be many good reasons, e.g. "it's a big hack and would negatively impact all other CPUs" | 12:22:54 |
| Puna | have you looked at the patches? | 12:23:17 |
 K900 | Those are all conditional though? | 12:23:19 |
| K900 | Like, all the hacks are ifdef'ed | 12:23:26 |
 dramforever | seems like those patches would be conditional on -mcpu=espresso | 12:23:48 |
| Alex | So they are. | 12:24:01 |
| Marie | I was more worried about if upstream would include such hacks for such specific CPU bugs | 12:25:20 |
| Marie | I think I'll ask the author if they have plans for upstreaming | 12:25:36 |
| dramforever | gcc does this all the time | 12:25:36 |
| K900 | Eh, I'm pretty sure glibc still ships fdiv errata workarounds | 12:25:37 |
| K900 | So I don't think this is even particularly bad | 12:25:45 |
