I was tempted to say "challenge accepted" , but I don't have a that detailed knowledge about these POWER/PowerPC "infights" and having a hefty discussion here would also spoil this thread, I think. Though I really don't know why we can't have one and the other at the same time? Are there not enough people to keep both alive at the same time? You know, I look at all that work that went into it and can't understand why it's required to tear down one cathedral to build another one that has its windows upside down. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for the other cathedral (the one with the windows upside down), too, but why does the other one have to go for that.

Limited resources in particular. Supporting both endian modes for an arch means double the testing and other necessary management work, and it's not something the BSDs have in terms of manpower. The result is a gimped experience for POWER8 and up.

It's for the same reason that supporting both a GCC and MIPSPro Nekoware release isn't really feasible -- for every C++ GCC program you end up with dozens of duplicated libs and such to isolate the name mangling. You'd need to split the two releases.

You could probably with some hacks create a "universal" release for both endians, but that would probably require more work than most would bother.

So that is not the perfect solution I had hoped for, but for now I can live with it. And maybe if some people with more powerful machines chime in in the future, we can bring LLVM/clang back to OpenBSD/sgi, though I'm unsure if it is worth the time for compilation, if we could otherwise just copy over some files to make it work with the software from the ports tree.

Grab the libs and install them by default? That's my thought.

Good luck, thanks for continuing the hard work. This is really neat.
