• Incremental builds with bmake and so on (BSDCam holdover) (punted to BSDCan)
• Review GPL in base status (BSDCam holdover)
• Brief comparison of NetBSD (build.sh) vs buildworld/installworld/release
• External toolchain status
  • GCC Support

• Recent changes for editorial intent (pro-permissive, not anti-GPL)
• linker (mclinker)
  • Is it feature complete?
    • linker scripts supported, not sure of exact feature set?
    • include directive (hps)
• diff
  • Recollection that the issue with OpenBSD's diff was wide char support
• binutils
  • FreeBSD stuff has been upstreamed
  • Need a detailed breakout and to decide which pieces we should take from where
• dtc
  • Done except for removing GPL version from tree
• gcc (in tree)
  • esoteric architecture support needs to be upstreamed
  • format extensions patch needed for cross ports
• libgcc
  • undwinder → libunwind
  • ~60% done
• groff
  • roff papers → to doc repo
  • Some ports install things that mandoc won't render, but groff does
    • bapt@ to add hook to find ports that do not work with mandoc
• gdb
  • gone by 11
  • Should be building lldb by default by 10.1

• Some discussion about build.sh vs alternative approaches to bootstrapping build tools
  • Needs to be more organized with pre-prep by FreeBSD and NetBSD people to be highly useful
  • NO_ROOT needs to be better documented

Mostly about status of Warner's work to support GCC.

• 4.9 is target for patches. Estimate at ~1500 lines of relevant patches.
  • our tree (loc) :
    • modernize x86 bulk of patches not needed in newer versions (5000)
    • backported and relicensed gcc bugfixes (2500)
    • FreeBSD specific architecture changes (2000)
    • printf extensions (150)
• make issues due to gcc differences
  • how gcc –sysroot support works still unclear
  • -B differs in meaning
• make format extensions a COMPILER_FEATURE
• Should have a way to include a .mk file to describe external toolchain: TOOLCHAIN= <foo>.mk
• Need to document external toolchain

• add ports impact (column), e.g. gperf, texinfo to GPLinBase (bapt)
• Break out binutils in GPLinBase (brooks, emaste)
• Follow up with DES re diff status (gavin)
• Move roff papers to doc repo (???)
• Add ports infrastructure to detect invalid man pages for groff depend (bapt)
• Have a kernel build session at BSDCan (brooks)
• Merge architecture specific gcc patches upstream (imp, etc)
• make WITH(OUT)_FORMAT_EXTENSIONS a COMPILER_FEATURE (brooks)
• Need to document external toolchain support (brooks, imp)
• Need cross gcc ports (imp)
• Should figure out a standardizable way to implemnt format extensions as #pragmas (theraven)
