Most of my library regression tests succeed. For executables, I compile and run (NetBSD versions) of cat, chmod, cp echo, ed, expr, kill, ln ls, mkdir, mv, pwd, rmdir, rm, sleep, and test, Of these the (rudimentary) tests fail for Microblaze for ed, expr. ls, and test.

Microblaze will probably come before ppc, just because I'm still struggling with clang/LLVM support of ppc. > > 3-Is SVN the only way to download source, or is there a way to get tarballs? Right now it is just SVN. I could set up tarballs, though, if there is enough interest. > > 4-Roughly what compiler would you expect to be needed to build the > toolchain? (will GCC-3.4 g++ be enough, or would 4.2 or 4.6 be necessary?) I have only used clang/LLVM for testing. I was testing against gcc 4.6 previously. -Rich
