Hello, I wanted to make a crosscompiler for the SPU on my PS3 with the newest newlib 3.3.0 but it failed. I've reported this issue to my distribution here https://bugs.gentoo.org/732206 and my investigations turned out this has been broken for some time now. I've also made a diff of the last working version and the first broken version here https://github.com/grepwood/newlib/commit/831b6666af1f83ac173b491a5c191246203ddc37 and I can see there's something wrong POSIX threads but I'm not entirely sure. Could anyone assist please? I know the SPU target is pretty much dead, but there are also plans to bring the open-source PS3 SDK PSL1GHT up to speed with new networking code from newlib, and they will also be blocked if they can't get a compiler for the SPU. Best regards, Michał Dec
