Hi all.
Hi Jens,
I've incorrectly reported a build failure in the support system. https://support.linaro.org/hc/en-us/requests/1876 -But I'm posting a copy to this list, in order to follow Victor's advice.
I've suggested a couple of changes, which makes ABE a little more compatible.
Thanks for your interest and efforts.
Though I can still not build the toolchain on my PowerBook G4, I think that my two modifications might ease building on Intel based Macs and perhaps other architectures in addition.
In short:
- Use getconf instead of /proc/cpuinfo (you're already using getconf in configure.ac).
- By default use twice as many cores for -jN as usual. (If you have 2 cores, use -j4)
- Change the architecture from 'Power Macintosh' (which contains an offending space) to 'powerpc'.
...And here's "configure.ac.patch":

Using getconf is indeed more portable, I think. However, I'm not sure we want the '2*' part of the patch, since we sort-of rely on the -j factor in our validations (e.g. number of independent builds in parallel on a given machine)

It looks like CORES isn't used anywhere, so it's simpler to just remove these lines.

I have no way of testing this, I'll check with someone else.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Apart from that, I'd like to report a successful build on Cubieboard2 running Armbian. I built for the aarch64 architecture, and I'm currently attempting to build Armbian for beelink GT1 using the new shiny Linaro toolchain. :) ...and what a pleasure, there's no fan-noise when building on the Cubieboard2!
:-)
