Re: Converting GCC to compilation with C++
Of all the times you've ported gcc to a new platform, what percentage of
the time would it have been harder to cross than to bring up on the
target system? What were some of the issues that made it hard?
As I think I made clear from my Ada analogy, I basically agree with
your (Mike Stump's) viewpoint. An answer to the question is that if
you are completely familiar with cross compiling, it's easy to do,
but we do have the impression that due to lack of documentation and
some inherent complexity, fewer people can successfully negotiate
a cross compile than can deal with a native build.
