[llvm-dev] A new ELLCC release is available that can cross build the Linux kernel.
A new binary release of the ELLCC cross compilation tool chain is available. ELLCC is a pre-packaged set of tools designed to support cross compilation for a variety of target processors. One of the cool things about this release is that it is the first time we've tried to build Linux with ELLCC: http://ellcc.org/blog/?p=810 ELLCC includes: * ecc (a clang/ELLCC based C/C++ compiler) * binutils * GDB * QEMU (on x86_64 Linux hosts) The ELLCC run-time libraries are supplied pre-built for all targets and are all covered with BSD-like licenses: * libc++ The C++ standard library * musl The POSIX compliant C library * compiler-rt Low level compiler support * expat XML parsing * libedit Command history * ncurses Terminal handling * zlib Compression ELLCC is entirely self hosting. From the ChangeLog: version 0.1.18: * Update to LLVM r251722. * Modifications to build Linux. * Update to LLVM r251283. * Update to LLVM r251219. * Update to musl 1.1.12. * Added a little 'm' makefile to build LLVMLinux with ELLCC (work in progress). * Added ncurses C++ headers and library builds for wide character support. * Make a link ncurses.h -> curses.h. Binary tarballs are available from http://ellcc.org/blog/?page_id=20295 The tool chain can build programs for ARM, Mips, PowerPC, and x86 Linux and stand-alone targets and x86 Windows systems. Pre-built binaries are available for ARM, Mips, PowerPC, and x86 Linux host systems as well as x86 Windows and Mac OS X hosts. All host systems can build programs for all the supported targets.
