At least the main blocker for me is the lack of substitutes for the things that fail to build with QEMU. So maybe one or a few machines which were able to build those specific things would be sufficient to provide some substitutes. I did have a look at seeing if I could purchase hardware, but I didn't really know what to look at. Maybe we could try putting out an appeal for MIPS hardware, maybe someone has some they don't use and would donate? --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKTBAEBCgB9FiEEPonu50WOcg2XVOCyXiijOwuE9XcFAl6y971fFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDNF ODlFRUU3NDU4RTcyMEQ5NzU0RTBCMjVFMjhBMzNCMEI4NEY1NzcACgkQXiijOwuE 9Xe4kA//YigQ7OqoCC+4s9nswE0yFjnK17GkqmrK47COjlcOth5VxqgCrR6NldKG +/KDnl9H34+bd41o2YQobrkbiXy4HHTUN3s70es/y/IJDvf0PGXEaZ3FSwUBFX/f y8gIkYrSbTCNLPbQtfbtJfRl113Hxu9I1eHP9ODbyeGpfADJN6qT9WIS489b/jw5 hM9tBQZmMvnULjcr2dEB/kLXE3b6hKdmWo7DHcq4J5TnQ+Bki2cQH+PWZ1I/tmvI qndlM77pH5sDAIkXIGZnphTLo4HhMvLzxx1kNT6a4vHfsW/vin9RRgKr8/ttB/Fe 4TzUIYP9TO5nQX3J2BuMCvUioOJgKgd9KWzvoUTD5fyVXqp2qNxIbgS/kWxyE6U+ OSFy8xS2PwGfhBEr07sYsiZQNRCLBNHb9lzIbToZ9PcVh8J4PWxQMpFDs1vBQ+5a QaVwNmuW7haK/9U3L2pJYu7/6wZYeIMveM5u7Y/I6JFtf6OfXI9D1HdE0zfFJPLf VsxXGDWkcN3o1AnC1OI2k6znqxBONkVafd3AkluvCdDh5FcsCRr3oLIgYuhCoFSk 6kV974rILnEsHtmlBDHf4cPydwZnsGS/gc9ZLOaQtSgkXpKNObGapP2dKYb00YXL 7aICvzkBAQ0CEmeyPjvtlFPD877EAIqunVL1FNiWKOa4G4A+P3Y= =IbeP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
