[Scratchbox-users] Progress on EABI compatible Scratchbox & QEMU?

[Sean Kelley]

Any timeline for an EABI supporting Scratchbox build?  I noted  on the
following website that QEMU 0.8.1 has shown some progress:

QEMU 0.8.1 can run ARM EABI systems, though when running with the
2.6.16 kernel it is mindbogglingly slow on x86 processors of a few
hundred megahertz. Using 2.6.17-rc3 or later fixes this anomaly.

    *

      binutils - from 2.16.92 - already in Debian
    *

      gcc - gcc 4.1.0 (ARMv4t thumb interworking is missing)
    *

      glibc - fully upstream in 2.4. Will also be in 2.3.7
          o

            Earlier glibcs (2.3.6?) support EABI userspace but had
old-style syscalls to work with older kernels (2.6.8-2.6.13ish).
    *

      kernel - eabi support merged after 2.6.15, present in 2.6.16.
    *

      dpkg, apt - patches will be submitted when port name consensus is achieved
