In a previous article some fellow inquired if the GNU development
tools would build and run on MassComp/Concurrent boxes. The answer is
apparently "yes".
I asked around and several people here have ported the GNU tools, just
for fun. The machines that I heard mentioned were the 6300 and the 6700.
Also ported were g++, gas, gdb, and such. The portation process was
reportedly fairly painless and the fixes for the few problems encountered
were submitted to the FSF. The last version that anybody here ported was
somewhere around 1.35, so I don't know whether those fixes are in the
latest distribution (? 1.37 ?) from the FSF.
I'm sorry to only have secondhand info to report, for now. Someday, maybe
I'll find the time to play with all of these cool tools and then I'll be
able to pass along some firsthand results.
