These toolchains are built in the ST compute farm, on RHEL6 hosts, but it ran correctly on my Ubuntu-18 workstation.
I gave the 32-bit toolchain a quick spin on my own box, it worked great here. I've discussed this with Kevin during Connect, he can probably knows more about how close we are to having multi-toolchain support ready to integrate this in kernelci.
You'd be better off talking to Matt Hart (CCed) about that. It'll be a little while yet.
Right, of course. I also meant to talk to Matt during Connect, but didn't get get around to catching up with him.
We probably don't want to add all combinations to the build farm, but doing arm and aarch64 builds on linux-next with the compiler of the day seems like a nice addition to me.
I think we should be covering x86 as well, it's probably mainstream enough :)
Agreed. The thing here is that the binaries that Christophe produces are a byproduct of his more elaborate toolchain tests, and he's not doing those for any architectures other than arm/aarch64 today. Before we ask him to do any additional work that is outside of his normal scope, I think we should try to integrate the binaries we already have. Once that works, we can go looking for volunteers that can build x86 (and possibly ppc, mips, microblaze and rv32 to cover all the kernelci targets) compilers, either in an automated way, or manually but less frequently.
