Description Rory Bolt 2023-05-23 16:00:29 UTC
Note: this is for BIG ENDIAN risc-v


The line
"symlink_build_rules riscv64be" needs to be added to the ebuild file to support big endian builds.

This is required to enable catalyst to build the stages for this platform.

what's the motivation for supporting BE? although I found this [1], the GCC is somehow already implemented, but the psABI isn't settle down..

To enable experimentation of a big endian system. As noted, the GCC toolchain supports riscv64be, and with the exception of dev-lib/openssl (another bug already filed for this) and app-cdr/cdrtools, all of Gentoo necessary to build a stage3 tarball already works.
