Re: Bug#731069: gcc-defaults: Please resume considering to change using unified version of gcc
Hi Matthias,
I am interested in helping out for the powerpcspe port, i own an P1010 based board, and am interested in this topic.
I am not really very experienced in toolchain stuff though, so a little help in getting started would be welcome.
Also, if it comes from that, i also volunteered for helping out on the powerpc port, so i could also give a hand on
the powerpc toolchain. I don't have a powerpc board handy right now though, and since i am no more DD, i don't know upto
what point i can get acces to a developer board (or who to ask).
Friendly,
Sven Luther
