What is the state of the V9/64-bit support in EGCS?
All the infrastructure is there. Support for all of the v9 code
models is there and functioning.
I use a snapshot from some time back to do all of my 64-bit kernel
builds for Sparc/Linux.
However floating point is unreliable, my SUBREG fixups need to be
completed before the compiler can be used for anything serious at all.
I still classify it an unsupported configuration for this reason. A
bootstrap of the compiler might work, but I'd be surprised if less
than half of the testsuite failed afterwards.
Later,
