I am finally getting around to upgrading one of my machines. It is a prefix install of Gentoo. I wrote a bit about it in another post.
I am not going to try and do an in-place upgrade. Instead I want to do a fresh install from a stage3 archive. However, the 17.0 profile I am using seems to have no direct replacement:
| Code: | | default/linux/arm/17.0/musl/armv7a/hardened |
The closest one is:
| Code: | | default/linux/arm/23.0/armv7a_hf/musl/hardened |
But this won't work for me because my system does not have hardware floating-point capability. Is there something I missed about musl no longer supporting soft FP? Or maybe Gentoo release engineering just decided to abandon it because nobody was using it except me?
I don't strictly need musl. I could switch to the glibc profile:
| Code: | | default/linux/arm/23.0/armv7a_sf/hardened |
And that should work fine, but the system has very little RAM and I thought musl might save me a bit. If I don't get any reply that's probably what I'll end up doing. Just thought it wouldn't hurt to ask around first.
Thank you. |
