I'm sorry, I've reached the limits of my memory again. These last couple
of days, I've been gropping around in vain for the correct toolchain to
use for various platforms.

I've been looking at the
http://cygweb.cygnus.com/ecos/support/releases.cgi pages which do help a
little. But it's too little information, and it's not easy to use.

I would like there to be scheduled time for Al or Julian (or whoever) to
add information to some database about what toolchains have been used
for particular RedBoot releases (we have the info for eCos releases, but
not RedBoot releases), Linux releases, what toolchains are *presently*
in use on trial basis, what toolchains are used in the farm, and what
toolchains should be used in the future for a given architecture.

Some of the information can be found via releases.sgi, some via the
farm's DB, and the rest, if you're lucky, by looking for postings on
various mailing lists.

It would be nice if we had *one*, up to date, description of what
toolchains have been used (for what), what toolchains are presently
used, and what toolchains should be used for new projects. 

You know, so engineers can quickly see which toolchain is used in the
farm for, say, malta boards, and *why* that particular toolchain is used
when it appears to be rather old compared to the toolchains available on
the engineer's machine. Could be intentional. Could be an oversight.
Could be the engineer had updated his toolchain for another project.
Could be the farm toolchain had not been updated for the current
project. Etc, etc, etc...

Does that make sense? I'm sure it won't happen overnight, and I'm also
sure someone needs to sit down and have a good long think about how to
do it in a sensible manner, so data can be shared between various
databases. But I'm asking for time to be scheduled to do that process.

Thanks,
Jesper

Expected Results:  List toolchains against test farm results and vice-versa.
