GCC 3.3 Native Build For NetBSD/dreamcast

Posted by Hemos on from the building-it-for-the-machine dept.

Dan writes "Marcus Comstedt has a native build of the new GCC 3.3 for NetBSD/dreamcast platform. It was built using the latest binutils (2.13.2.1), and he then rebuilt the binutils with the new compiler. Also included is a gdb 5.3 built with the GCC and binutils."

    I would say you're an obvious Windows Turd.

    Lots of people care, this is another victory for NetBSD and the BSD community.
    Why?

    My take on the NetBSD idea, is not why, but why not?
    If you can run NetBSD on a dreamcast, or any other piece of equipement with a CPU, then you can have a simple firewalling router, or a file server. The possibilities aren't endless, but there's a lot.

    Shouldn't he also have rebuilt gcc with the new binutils? Then rebuilt binutils with that resulting gcc?

    BTW: I just symlink the binutils source directory from inside the gcc source directory (i.e. ln -s ../binutils-2.13.2.1 binutils) and then "make bootstrap-lean". This takes care of the interdependancies. You can also do the same for flex and bison.
