Hey Carlos, address@hidden (Carlos Sánchez de La Lama) skribis: The “.x86_64-linux” in the Hydra job name above means that it’s cross-built from x86_64; that’s why the store file name is dif
Hi Ludo, all, I checked out commit 58ea4d to try to obtain most sustitutes from hydra, but seems my products differ: $ ./pre-inst-env guix build -q --target=powerpc-linux-gnu guile /gnu/store/75vvlac
Hello Carlos! address@hidden (Carlos Sánchez de La Lama) skribis: OK, fine. So maybe we’ll keep it as an unofficial port, until/unless we find out that there’s more demand that we thought out th
I repeated Efraim's steps on two different x86_64-linux Guix System machines. In both cases, it produced exactly the same hash. Therefore, it would seem these bootstrap binaries are actually reproduc

Needs a period at the end of the sentence. The two bugs mentioned are known to upstream and there are some other reports of failures on other niche architectures like hppa. Unfortunately I haven't go
Hello, Old apple hardware based on powerpc G4 (powermacs, mini, imac, etc.), maybe even G3. A VM on power9 may be able to run BE ppc32. Regards -- Vincent Legoll
Generally this looks reasonable. I understand 3 weeks is a long iteration time! I think it's OK to proceed if it works for bootstrapping other software on this platform. Especially since the change i
Hi Efraim, The other day, I asked on IRC why it's OK for binutils-final to refer to static-bash-for-glibc on powerpc architectures, like in commit 2da8fcfdee7cfde8110a68806f3c4d497f217fe5, but it isn
In the mean time you could use './pre-inst-env guix build --system=powerpc-linux hello'. I'm especially interested if you can build guile-final since I get some Segfault while compiling ice-9/boot-9.
Hi! address@hidden (Carlos Sánchez de La Lama) skribis: Sounds good! Up to you! If you have something that’s self-contained and intelligible to people who don’t have your experience, that’s pr
Hi Ludo! Thanks! Happy new year! Thats perfect :) Nice! I will generate the bootstrap tarballs locally using that commit to check everything target-side works, before hydra time is spent on that. If
Ah, I didn't see your email. That was kind-of my idea with grouping them together The problem then becomes whoever tinkers with it will have to keep either a custom guix.m4 for their guix package or
Hi! No, not as “supported”, I surely don’t want to deal with mips64el-linux bugs. :-) Maybe it’s more readable to keep it as a bullet list, like: @item mips64el-linux (@emph{unsupported}) …
Hi Efraim, [...] [...] I feel like “best-effort with minimal substitutes” is already more than I’d be willing to commit to as a maintainer. We just added POWER9, for which we have actual hardwa
I submitted the bug upstream. It turns out it was a bug in the test suite which only showed up on big-endian systems. They've fixed it in libiberty (in GCC) and I added the patch to binutils on core-
