Benchmark infrastructure - TCWG-360 [8/10]
* Testing found many problems in multinode
* Iterating to solutions
Misc [2/10]

Holiday next week.
Then back to fixing multinode, incorporating into jenkins, noise
control experiments
Hi Linaro Toolchain Group,
I am building a native toolchain for aarch64 with below configurations:
--build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --host=aarch64-linux-gnu
--target=aarch64-linux-gnu.
In copy_gcc_libs_to_sysroot() - which copy libgcc.a to sysroot, current
implementation try to find the absolute path of libgcc.a as below :
libgcc="`${local_builds}/destdir/${host}/bin/${target}-gcc
-print-file-name=${libgcc}`
But above line will not execute (i.e. gcc -print-file-name) on x86_64 as
the toolchain is native toolchain for aarch64-linux-gnu. Thus a infinite
loop will be created in copy command i.e. copying directory x in x.
however, when I hard coded the libgcc.a path in my machine (as below),
everything went fine.
libgcc="/home/vpathak/arm/toolchain/build_abe_new/builds/destdir/aarch64-linux-gnu/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/5.1.1/libgcc.a"
I think this is a bug in ABE build infrastructure.
Thanks.

* TCWG-806, aarch64 remote debugging multi-arch support. [4/10]
Patches are done. Need to test them and polish them.
Fix various multi-arch issues when --wrapper is used in GDBserver.
Patches are pushed in to mainline.
Could you describe this activity in more detail?
Is the goal here to support mixed aarch32/aarch64 in the same GDB binary
and detect the change at runtime?
Thanks.
