Someone on Parabola Hackers (cc:ed, but please remove it when replying to avoid cross-post issues) mentioned that n64 would be good (at least to have available somewhere) so more virtual memory could be used - the use case he gave was that compiling and debugging some things requires more RAM then can be achieved with current hardware + n32-limited virtual memory. I think he actually had a chicken-and-egg scenario where he couldn't compile 64-bit binutils because of memory limits. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "loongson-dev" group.
