A/UX modern cross-compile toolchain (modern ELF Binutils and GCC)

[uyjulian]

I might as well put this here to see if there is any interest in it.

I've been working on a modern cross-compile toolchain for A/UX: https://github.com/uyjulian/aux_crosscompile_toolchain

This is definitely on my wishlist

Oh that's extremely neat! I'll have to play with that when I get a chance.

Ha, that's interesting! I was trying to build something similar with Qemu

This is really cool. Looking forward to seeing it progress!

Hi Julian. I am very interested! My use case would be writing Virtio drivers for A/UX. How far along is this toolchain? Did you use Retro68 as a starting point? What can you tell us about the ECOFF format? Do you think it could easily produce a kernel module?

How far along is this toolchain?

Still needs work; see https://github.com/uyjulian/aux_crosscompile_toolchain/issues/1

Did you use Retro68 as a starting point?

Nope

What can you tell us about the ECOFF format?

Currently just doing what binutils implements

Do you think it could easily produce a kernel module?

Untested,
