[cfarm-users] Modern GCC for mips64 machines

[Jeffrey Walton]

Hi Everyone,

I'm interested in testing a build under a more modern GCC built on mips64.
Eventually I'd like to try the MIPS builtins/intrinsics like discussed
at https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/downloads-mips/documents/MD00927-SIMD-programming-whitepaper.pdf
.

>From gcc22:

    $ gcc --version
    gcc (Debian 4.6.3-14) 4.6.3

And:

    $ ls -l /opt/cfarm/gcc-latest
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 iulius iulius 36 Dec 10  2017 /opt/cfarm/gcc-latest
-> /home/iulius/autobuild/bin/gcc-7.2.0

But:

    $ ls /home/iulius/autobuild/bin/gcc-7.2.0
    ls: cannot access /home/iulius/autobuild/bin/gcc-7.2.0: No such
file or directory

It looks like there may be something available.

Any ideas on how I can access a newer compiler?
