[Soc-coordination] Status Report of MIPS N32/N64 Port, Week 3

[Eleanor Chen]

Hi,

In the fourth week of this GSoC project, I've completed my cross
toolchain of mips64el port on amd64, including stage-3 gcc, stage-2
eglibc, binutils and linux-libc-dev. All of the packages are based on
versions recently in Sid, with modifications that already submitted in
form of patches to BTS. The resulting packages can be fetched at
http://vip.moonux.org/~eleanor/gsoc2013/cross-toolchain/

Versions are:
binutils: 2.23.52.20130620-1
dpkg: 1.16.10
gcc-4.8: 4.8.1-6
eglibc: 2.17-7
linux-libc-dev: 3.10~rc7-1~exp1

A newly reported bug: #716795 gcc-4.8: generated library packages
aren't marked Multiarch when cross compiling gcc

As I've got the cross-toolchain, next step I'll keep track to forward
port and integrate necessary patches into respective packages, and at
the same time I'll start to cross compile a set of packages to form a
working chroot that can rebuild native build-essential. The overall
progress is on schedule, but I still need to get my account for the
mips64 (be) machine and do these things again on it.


Best Regards,
Eleanor Chen
