First gentoo system image for Cell done
08/06/06 22:11 , Categories: Gentoo It is basically a standard ppc64 image with gcc-cell native, the spe-elf toolchain and libspe. I tested it with the sistemsym a bit today and seems working as should soon I'll try to make a proper image for the simulator with a quite stripped down baselayout (since looks like it doesn't like at all doing much I/O from and to the disk but is blazing fast on memory, out init system uses too much the disk...)
Screenshots and instructions about how to craft it soon =)

Have tried to use ir and have stucked in several errors, don't know exactly what is causing it...
1- crossdev -t spu (with all those parameters)
Caused an error on a missing Manifest in linux-headers. Easy to bypass
2- crossdev -t spu
new error in linux-headers...so I emerged it to see what is going on:
* Applying 2.6.16-ppc-memory.patch (-p0+) ... [ ok ]
* Applying 2.6.16-ppc-timex.patch (-p0+) ... [ ok ]
* Applying 2.6.16-ppc64-mc_types.patch (-p0+) ... [ ok ]
* Applying 2.6.16-rtc-includes.patch (-p0+) ... [ ok ]
* Applying 2.6.16-xfsprogs-swab-collision.patch (-p0+) ... [ ok ]
* Applying 2.6.8.1-strict-ansi-fix.patch (-p0+) ... [ ok ]
QA Notice: USE Flag 'crosscompile_opts_headers-only' not in IUSE for cross-spu-elf/linux-headers-2.6.16-r1
Here is the output:

3- crossdev -t ppu
It locks simply, examining the process tables shows an ld eventually coming and going, logs stops exiting a make, very strange, can post here if necessary

For the linux headers and spu the simplest solution is to remove them (I'll do soon)
for the ppu ld issue looks like you built binutils with a toolchain too old, I know it is a pain but first update the host system to the latest ~ppc and then build it, it works as should.
