We=E2=80=99ve always had difficulties with mips64el-linux builds. At our b= est we had two slow MIPS build machines behind hydra.gnu.org. One of them died months ago, and the second one=C2=B9 (hosted at the FSF) went off-line around early February. Mark has been kindly taking care of these machines but hasn=E2=80=99t yet figured out what to do with this one. As a consequence, =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99 has not been fully built f= or misp64el-linux. Mark tested it on a Yeeloong and noticed that the generated code, since the upgrade of Binutils to 2.27, tends to lock up the machine; reverting to 2.25 fixes the problem. Thus, the next Guix release will probably not have a binary tarball for MIPS. We hope to resume proper support in the future if everything goes well. Apologies to Guix users on MIPS. If you have an interest in this architecture and better yet, if you have a build machine that you could provide us with, please let us know! Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99. =C2=B9 See the list of machines at . --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEPORkVYqE/cadtAz7CQsRmT2a67UFAljYJE8ACgkQCQsRmT2a 67VA8BAAhh1/vAXgdKfP7Ji6kXNdCDOzL2ikF7U7t2+wXle2oa6T/6OxvSkbn+XS OiiD9SfODkBflYlF+0K19I+1yJ1oRBExq9jiVsK5qMvgSfPHEjo/gRWhDs6keEnU UGLWIgn5vv9keKdIGgt4kuG734RsBrbgRcRnw4M1mnt++PUHft7wzHl5s8UzRlGG yMDHKkKsBeK74EczzPfoNzdD2b+NcjbrfmteQxcxOZnSqcNJDVESfRK9K4F26KRc FGvuRhYmpHFYF0hMx1vH0bHeyL800mSz7UtS6mX90nNHNaXLv9dxAHPsHmGVoq01 J1t3eA34TKYuhwuoZb7rwQPEJqvflbkMDOiRjSgYAhhvzglYPF/lG5hA8VZFxAse JosJzRQsbNxhcBcNML6jottqaZzQFt3G58Qz+Zl3YOScxqTDfXeeiLW07hSiBO/7 1iCcQRm5CdUvRwj9L8AOv0Gyv5m6YIhTaLEEjqpkCRc+8clTSpydhVNof5ItIHQw HCMzX8ub66yOiLB946803z363jJk8DTWU3zedbYhvZEhzn2UwF47MfSOn/cLRUOZ aE61UJZHDdaFKgTT4H9z9wQjOjJF/IUldM9T/8r5qyi+Z79bA4hA3h1zh4GIQtAz 8xXOtVZdwniQaHc1h9KWOm1ZBMxGo8caxf1mEgHGBe1A2xv2fNI= =ZULn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
