|
I was wondering if there should be an i486 stage 3?
I figure I should see how well my i486 would run a uclibc-ng Gentoo install, currently I have a full (and outdated) glibc gentoo install based off a i486 stage3...
Anyone went down this path and found it to work just fine, or is a stage1 install needed for a uclibc i486? Anything else needed?
This will be for a SC520 embedded processor with 64MB RAM. The glibc install actually works fine though it uses a lot of ram...

| You might have better results with musl. It claims to work as far back as i386 but it doesn't skimp on basic libc stuff as much as uclibc does. |

So changing CHOST to i486 and building musl instead of uclibc over a i486 glibc stage3 tends to work better than starting from scratch?
I still wonder why there's no i486 uclibc/musl stage3 autobuild available, since these machines are the ones that truly would be hurting for memory/diskspace... Most i686 machines have "plenty" of storage compared to most i486's...
