If this is correct, then this is a no-go for the port. Besides this, who will care about the toolchain for this port within Debian? I'm not keen on having another mips like maintained architecture.I've cleaned up the wiki a bit. The GNU toolchain supports SH4. However, CodeSourcery produces a version of the GNU toolchain as well. This toolchain is obtained separately by the user should they desire to use it.this is not an option for Debian.
I don't mean that the CodeSourcery toolchain should be included in Debian. I'm merely stating that the user can install whatever toolchain post distribution install. I'll just remove the CodeSourcery reference altogether.
Changes in the CodeSourcery toolchain do eventually get pushed upstream to the FSF GNU toolchain.yes, CS does this, but there may be a delay, and in some cases you may only see these changes submitted when the FSF GCC is in stage1. Assuming that GCC 4.6 and binutils 2.22 are targeted for wheezy, who will care about sh4 specific issues in the toolchain for wheezy?
I'm not sure, but will find out.
