Hello,

I've been trying to get linux re-installed on my Octane. I've been using livecd-rc6 and following the handbook. Things seem to work fine until i try to emerge kgcc64. Are there any known issues with the ebuild?

Thanks!

Hmm, a few people have commented about kgcc64... I'm in the process of reloading my O2 (although I just re-used my old kernel).

But since a few seem to be having difficulties, I'll have a look at installing it. (I normally cross-compile from another machine.)

Could you elaborate on the errors you get?

I think I may have the same problem. I'm using RC6 and the MIPS handbook to attempt an install on my O2. I put the errors on the LiveCD thread, https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-242518-start-25.html but I also tried to get kgcc64 as my initial problem surfaced on a kernel compile with a script with 64 in the name, and it was in the handbook, so I thought maybe it was needed. The error I got was similar to the ones when trying to recompile portage, though obviously the lines were different. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Sorry, my Octane isn't with me now,
so i can't say what the error is.

For what it's worth, i tried emerging
kgcc64 on my ppc laptop. I'm not sure if it's
supposed to work, but i tried emerging
kgcc64 on my ppc32 laptop. That
didn't work, either.

Well, kgcc64 is a merging of several toolchains; there used to be a separate 64-bit kernel compiler for mips64, sparc64, ppc64, hppa, s390 and AMD64.

I'd say this is a bug for the toolchain herd if its broken on other arches too.

Sorry, I now think my issue was different. My /etc/make.conf was improperly set for the O2.
