Subject: compiler suite question
Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2000 14:32:27 -0400
in its section on "The MIPS compiler", /sys/doc/port.ps
talks about the compiler which generates no R4000 code
operating in big-endian mode. it has a note stating that
a little-endian version exists. 2c(1) has:
0c spim little-endian MIPS 4000 family
but no other little-endian MIPS compilers. which
statement is correct? does 0c generate R4K code? does
whichever is "the other one" exist?
also, i note 2c(1) mentions MIPS R4K and AT&T 3210
compilers (4c and xc, respectivly). why were these
three not included? i'm mainly intersted in the ability
to generate R4K code, but i'm curious about the others.
