Hi !

I want to ask that stock latest binutils is usable or better use opencores CVS to obtain a good
binutils for or32 ?
Does anyone merge mainstream binutils or32 support regulary ?

I ask because opencores's CVS binutils is a little bit outdated as version.

And what about gcc ?

The stock latest binutils doesn't actually work. it wasn't refreshed
in a long while. the opencores cvs version works (i havn't yet
seen a bug that would produce incorrectly linked binary), but it does lack
weak symbols support (and is quite old frankly).

Does anyone merge mainstream binutils or32 support regulary ?


unfortunately no. i wanted to move to newest binutils and then merge
them into mainline, but i can't find time to do so...

i agree.

or32 is not in official gcc tree, but the version on the opencores cvs
is current (gcc 3.4.2). even so, the port would need a
face lift, generated code is not exactly optimal...

p.
