Fedora for ARM and cross compilation

It's great to see the more discussion around Fedora on embedded architectures happening over the last two weeks. To play catch up, these are the three threads I've found that matter:

Lennert Buytenhek's "fedora for ARM" thread. Lennert has a Fedora build for ARM with patches ready to be merged.

Brendan Conoboy's cross-compilation thread. I've worked with Brendan for years in the embedded tools and OS arena, and he definitely knows what he's talking about.

spot's Secondary Architectures thread discusses proposed policies for handling secondary architectures in Fedora.

The issues are many, varied and complex, but I hope something comes of this.

Yes, I know about llvm. I wish somebody would rewrite the qemu dynamic compiler to use it!

Yes, I've made decent progress, but had to slow down recently. I plan to crank it back into high gear over the [...]

Are you aware of llvm? (not lvm) A different objective to your GGX project, but I though you might be [...]

Have you come forward?

David Daney about ggx: new instructions and porting the Linux kernel

Impressive. Design the processor ISA to running (almost) a kernel in a few short months in your spare time.

Anthony Green about ggx: three's a crowd. Switching to two-operand instructions.

Thanks for the tip. There's no reason to go against convention. I've added this to the ggxdev TODO file.

Wouldn't those 2-operand instructions look better as op src,dest than op dest,src? GNU as even uses src,dest by default [...]

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not using MiBench directly. I'm using the fork called MiBench_for_MiDataSets which I [...]

I might mis-remember, but bitcount is dominated by "printf". Take out the printf if you want instructions counts that [...]

Ack! I was Wikipediang around, and said to myself, "Gee, I wonder if Fred Fish is in here." Imagine my pleasure to see [...]
