But in that post (June 28) Maxim recommends using mainline binutils, and
since then we have HJL binutils-2.19.51.0.14 released, "...based on
binutils 2009 0722 in CVS on sourceware.org..." So I guess I should start
there.
The last binutils TLS patches went in on 2009-08-26; the patches fixed
generation of invalid TLS relocations.
I understand that the current GCC (4.4) lacks the necessary patches, and
4.5 is still uncooked (and that's a scary prospect). Can someone confirm
that this is the necessary patch for 4.4:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-05/msg01024.html
I think GCC 4.4 should be good enough.
As for eglibc, there are a number of branches listed here,
http://www.eglibc.org/repository
The question is, which branch, snapshot or release might meet be suitable?
EGLIBC does not yet have NPTL patches checked in, they are in review on
libc-ports@. Once the review is finished, I will likely backport the
patches from EGLIBC trunk to 2.10 branch.
With this information, I could attempt to build a toolchain from upstream
sources, or figure out whether or not the debian archive has the necessary
source packages...
You will also need a patch for kernel, posted on linux-m68k@.
