We've got a > working C++ toolchain. g++'s toolchain (such as via devel/powerpc64-xtoolchain-gcc ) has its own problems: A) For targeting powerpc64 it fails to build a working lib32. (This may well be better than clang's status overall.) B) For targeting powerpc (32-bit): what toolchain? === Mark Millard markmi at dsl-only.netReceived on Fri Oct 06 2017 - 15:04:34 UTC
