Hi Joel, I'll give an answer ASAP on the newlib and libgloss...
I supposed your question were about the licences question on newlib,
instead you were really asking what changed on the repo libs...
It was a bit of both. If they put the right licenses on the newlib and
libgloss ports, you should be able to use them and eventually submit them.
But GCC, binutils, and gdb would be gpl and require an assignment to the
FSF. That is all I meant.
It's not quite as restricted as that. For GCC, I suggest reading
https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html#legal for more details.
I think there are similar processes in place for binutils as well. (I'm
not quite so sure for GDB).
R.
An option here is to reach out to the authors and ask if they are willing
to do the FSF assignment. If they are, then any GPL licensed code from them
might be a baseline.
It looks like their current products may be based on LLVM.

Hi, Joel and Mikael
taking a look at the code it seems that the repo owner is higtech
<https://hightec-rt.com/> but we have no confirmations.
In fact, after a comparison with gcc 9.4.0 original files i see this on
a lot of ("WITH_HIGHTEC") [intl.c]:

Probably this version of gcc is a basic version of their tricore-gcc
and probably works fine but that repo doesn't show any extra info.
Seems also impossible to contact the owner (that account doesn't show
any email or other info)..
Honestly with these conditions, from gcc development point of view,
that repo has no value.
Without an assignment, you can't submit that code. That's a blocker on
using it if there isn't one.
But you can file an issue against the repo asking questions.
Anyway this is a good starting point...
Maybe not if you can't submit it. Anything that needs to be GOL licensed
and owned by the FSF is off limits.
But areas with permissive licenses might be ok if they stuck with those.
Look at what they did with newlib and libgloss.

Hi, this is my first time with open source development. I worked in
automotive for 22 years and we (generally) were using tricore
series for
these products. GCC doesn't compile on that platform. I left my
work some
days ago and so I'll have some spare time in the next few months. I
would
like to know how difficult it is to port the tricore platform on
gcc and if
during this process somebody can support me as tutor and... also if
the gcc
team is interested in this item...
https://github.com/volumit has a port of gcc + binutils + newlib +
gdb
to Tricore,
and it's not _that_ ancient. I have no idea where it originates from
or how complete
it is, but I do know the gcc-4.9.4 based one builds with some tweaks.
https://github.com/volumit/package_494 says there is a port in
process to gcc 9. Perhaps digging in and assessing that would be a good
start.
One question is whether that code has proper assignments on file for
ultimate inclusion. That should be part of your assessment.

I don't know anything more about it, I'm just a collector of
cross-compilers for
obscure / lost / forgotten / abandoned targets.
