Hi, John

I have an idea, but not a tutorial:

The first things you need are the toolchains for the new platform or even
architecture, including the new compiler and the new binary utilities, i.e.
ld, nm, as, etc. You need to specify the target as
"sparc64-unknown-openbsd3.9" or something else, depending on what
target system you want. Yep, to get a whole running target system you
also need to rebuild your compiler and your binary utilities, in which the
compiler and the binary utilities are built for a second time using the
compiler/binary utilities for the target system.

I have had a hand in cross-compiling gcc and binutils on an i386 Linux-
2.4 box, but I'm still not quite sure if this also applies to *BSD. Anyway,
hope this idea works.

Good luck.


Jason

How would I go about cross compiling OpenBSD from i386 to sparc64?

I am just interested because I want to build a system from a faar faster
processor if possible.
