Re: Building for ELFv2

I'm building on the system I wish to update. The system itself is 
13.0-CURRENT (r356092) and based on gcc 4.2.1. I was going to initially 
try a live update, but I wasn't sure how successful that would be (but 
this is a VM so I'd be able to rollback without difficulty). If that 
didn't work out, I was going to try and create some bootable media and 
install a new instance from that.

I have currently allocated 32GB of memory and there appears to be about 
3G of swap and 32 threads.

The physical host is a Talos II (so POWER9) running Linux/KVM/libvirt.

Thanks,
