Ok, flamebait title....
Now with the new newlib release I'm pleased to announce that I'm just 2 steps from having a working out of box spu toolchain.
all you need currently is just to:
- patch the toolchain.eclass https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158495
- disable fortran useflag (since it won't build because of a upstream issue)
and then just issue a crossdev --l 1.15.0 --g 4.3.0_alpha20061216 spu
and you'll have a a full toolchain (including spu-elf-g++)
Many thanks to my fellow testers and to Shine for the ssh account over his box =)
