We need to update ruby’s .footprint to fit with current arch and ABI.

We need to cross compile ncurses and later pkgadd-cross them in our clfs in order to build the dialog tool:

checking if you want to use purify for testing... no
checking if you want to use valgrind for testing... no
checking if you want to perform memory-leak testing...
checking if you want –trace option... yes
checking if libtool -version-number should be used... yes
checking if you want to build libraries with libtool... no
checking for specific curses-directory... no
checking for multibyte character support... yes
Looking for ncursesw-config
checking for arm-crux-linux-gnueabi-ncursesw6-config... no
checking for arm-crux-linux-gnueabi-ncursesw5-config... no
checking for ncursesw6-config... no
checking for ncursesw5-config... ncursesw5-config
checking if we have identified curses headers... none
configure: error: No curses header-files found
make: *** [/devel/crux-arm/initrd/work/dialog-1.1-20120215/_install/usr/bin/dialog] Error 1

To fix that (for now) we could just add a README file to initrd.git repository and some informative notes to related wiki pages.

More ideas??

The underflow detection code of mpfr_gamma is buggy: some results may incorrectly be regarded as underflow.
This bug is fixed by the gamma-underflow patch, which also provides a testcase. Warning! While this patch avoids incorrect results on values close to underflow, it makes another problem appear: a possible infinite loop for some underflow cases. In particular, the testsuite will freeze on 32-bit machines.

Triplet to use in the overlay: arm-crux-linux-gnueabihf
We need to change the triplet for: libgmp binutils, glibc and gcc.
We need to add bash, and force the use of this triplet to don’t break MACHTYPE (add –build=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf too)

Building toolchain 2.6 in a CRUX 2.7 host (using make 3.82) we can find a problem in glibc build:
*** mixed implicit and normal rules. Stop.

We can try to add a patch and fix this problem to build CRUX-ARM 2.6 (eabi/noeabi) in a CRUX 2.7 host (with make 3.82).
This should be tested in a 2.6 host and verify it builds right too. I’ll try to provide this last check while waiting for comments or opinions in this bug.

For example, on efika’s there is a problems booting kernel 2.6.31.14.27 and current udev 175

Lot of errors (udevd[XXX]: unable to receive ctrl connection: Function not implemented) spammed and a wait time to finish booting around 2 minutes.

Debian has a patch for kernel which could be good to take a look and decide if could be interesting to apply it to current CRUX-ARM kernel for efikamx device.

Link to patch propossal and explanation:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2011/11/msg00241.html

gcc packages generated by crosscompilation (core-cross) have these triplets: arm-crux-linux-gnueabi and arm-crux-linux-gnueabihf

The idea would be to have the same triplet for packages generated by native compilation on stage2, so only in this case we could release stage2 packages.

ATM, core-arm its ok for 2.7-hardfp branch but we should fix the default branch to use arm-crux-linux-gnueabi instead of machtype detected: armv7l-unkown-linux-gnueabi

One possible fix would be to use –build=arm-crux-linux-gnueabi in the overlay (core-arm)

There are some problems trying to cross-build perl to the new version.
Here there are some notes about the work done (but not working):
- The Pkgfile tries to build the needed hosts tools and then build perl.
- The config provided got from versatile native configure.
May be a bad way to try to cross-build it. Waiting comments and suggestions to cross-build perl.

We can create a new toolchain with hardfp and thumb support.

It can be created with the same triplet used in the toolchain with a minor change (arm-cruxhf-linux-gnueabi) but the point could be to use another one: arm-crux-linux-gnueabihf

There are problems with this triplet which should be fixed before we start adopting it.

There are some checks which can be done to verify hardfp/thumb support.

readelf -e test:
The elf header should change (not implemented atm)

readelf -A test:
Tag_THUMB_ISA_use: Thumb-2
Tag_ABI_HardFP_use: SP and DP
These told us that this toolchain has thumb support and it’s built with hardfp

size test:
we can compare file’s sizes and verify that the thumb one it’s smaller.

This isn't a real task. You should close it and start opening some real tasks.
