@trofi:matrix.org | Posting here as well as elfutils is currently only available on linux, I suspect it Just Works on other targets.
WDYT of dropping libelf in favour of elfutils? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/271473

Emma [it/its] ⚡️ | cursed idea: i wonder if anyone is feeling like nixos on PPCBE (old imacs) | 03:19:41 |
Puna | i have nix on PPCBE (old powermac), CBA to figure out boot setup for nixos though | 05:19:38 |
Puna | would love to do it though 😄 | 05:20:04 |
Emma [it/its] ⚡️ | ah lol, wasnt the first i guess | 05:23:04 |
Puna | ah sorry, PPC64BE. you could still be the first on 32-bit ;p | 05:27:06 |
Puna | * ah sorry, i'm using PPC64BE to be specific. you could still be the first on 32-bit ;p | 05:28:29 |
Emma [it/its] ⚡️ | ah, fair | 05:29:15 |
Emma [it/its] ⚡️ | now only obtaining the hardware, i can grab an eMac for 125eur to test on lol | 05:29:49 |
ilex | Is there some "working guide" to install NixOS on a ppc64le VM or a working NixOS config with boot options? I followed the Thread in the NixOS forum and tried to get it working, but failed so far, however it seems there are successful installs on hardware with Petitboot? | 06:13:14 |
ius | trofi: my only gripe would be that elfutils is marked broken for static builds currently | 07:03:21 |
@trofi:matrix.org | Yeah, I wonder if it's completely broken. Or just some tests assume dynamic relocations. | 07:28:11 |
@trofi:matrix.org | Ah, it loads backends dynamically. | 07:30:26 |
