Re: building cross tools for sparc

Hmmmm..


My initial interest is to build a cross tool chain for sparc.

It seems like in a few short years that sparc has fallen off the face of
the earth.

Sparc64 is listed on the debian ports but I seem to have read somewhere
that it was being dropped.

http://www.debian-ports.org/

Building a normal debian cross compiler for now would be okay.
