I just want to comment on this. We test our releases very throughly  
for supported targets. Supported means that they are actively  
maintained and tested day after day. If no one steps up to be a  
maintainer for these targets, then they will not become a part of the  
release criteria.

With that said, we only qualified for x86-32, x86-64, mingw32, and ppc  
(mac os 10.5 only).  So pretty much all the ones that are failing were  
not supported for 2.5. This list is only slightly expanded for 2.6,  
and will not include arm, ia64, sparc, or ppc. arm will probably work  
with 2.5, but unless someone wants to qualify it for the release (I do  
not have a volunteer), then it will not be on the list of supported  
targets.

We'd love help with these targets. Ideally, we need someone to set up  
an appropriate buildbot and actively monitor it and fix issues or file  
bug reports for things that come up.

Thanks,
Tanya

For what it's worth, Daniel and I recently set up a Mac OS 10.5 PPC G5  
box as a build bot machine. I've been monitoring it, so it's doing  
well for the 2.6 release. :-)

Now you set yourself up. Would you be willing to qualify 2.6 for Mac  
OS 10.5 ppc? If you have time,that would be very useful. :) If not, I  
understand.

Hi Tanya, Bill, Anton and Martin.

I have recently set-up and installed a ARM buildbot that have currently
been building since August 21.
You can follow its progress here
http://google1.osuosl.org:8011/builders/llvm-arm-linux

I have also started to investigate the test failures and writing
bugreports. Currently about all test failures except are related to the
ExecutionEngine JIT and i am doing my best to stabilise it. There are
also one failure with the theTransforms/LICM/2003-12-11-SinkingToPHI.ll
test.

Im currently investigating the following bugs that are probably causing
most of these JIT-showstoppers for ARM:
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=4772   ARM unittest
JIT.GlobalInFunction fail during ARM Machine...
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=4592   ARM JIT 1+1=0
http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=4593   ARM JIT BrainF -jit hello.bf
Asserts while deleting putchar

Any advise on how to best tackle the remaining ~28 JIT bugs using common
tools like gdb and code manipulation are most welcome.

Anton do you know if there are current any bugs that breaks clang/gcc on
ARM?

With this said i gladly volunteer during the coming months to do my best
make at least the ARM stable for the 2.6 release.

Greetings and have a great day!
Xerxes

I refuse to have anything to do with the build bots anymore.

Cheers!

Wonderful.  It would be helpful to write up a bug report for the bits  
that don't work, and then to XFAIL them, so that the bot turns green.   
People watch mainly for the green to red transitions, and having it  
forever be red (orange) isn't as useful.
