Hi Hector (and Neil),
thank you both for your feedback. I actually keep a mixed
debian installation with Lenny as a base and selected packages from
unstable. So, I tried to upgrade the emdebian-tools and gcc-4.3 to
unstable, but some of the problems with package versions remain. I
believe that this is due to old config files lying around (I had made
some attempts with emdebian in the past as well).
Today I didn't have much time to work on this, but for tomorrow, a
colleague of mine promised me a dedicated virtual machine on our
company's server, where I could do a fresh install of debian (unstable).
I'll do that, and I'll resume my attempts with emdebian.
Since I have no urgent need for emdebian, I would be in favor of
going for a gcc-4.3 based toolchain. In the process I hope that I'll
learn more about the tools involved, and we might succeed in shaping up
the sparc port.
Cheers,
Dimitris
