aleksi | This could be interesting. Maybe for the non-natively bootstrapped platforms, we could slightly modify the late stages of minimal-bootstrap such that the final gcc is optionally a cross compiler (build=x86_64, host=target=stdenv.buildPlatform) and minimal-bootstrap.*-static would be cross-compiled with it | 19:15:48 |

K900 | The better channel is probably #Nix / NixOS | 13:40:23 |
K900 | And the answer is there is some delay | 13:40:29 |
Guilherme Lima | Thanks | 13:40:58 |
aleksi | There's a PoC bootstrap for aarch64-linux now: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/487398
To make this work, I had to tell gcc-15 that the host is musl-based. But in fact this breaks building glibc on i686 (but not on x86_64). I think this might be the frankenstein gcc problem? So I guess we need a glibc already built before we build a proper gcc targeting glibc | 21:03:51 |
Tristan Ross | Awesome, feel free to add me as a reviewer once its ready. | 21:09:34 |
Tristan Ross | I'd really like to try this out. | 21:09:41 |
