Comment (by mojca):
But we do in fact have way too many broken and unmaintained ports, many of
which might not have worked for ages.
I've seen those packages in Debian, but gcc-7 and gcc34 are two entirely
different things. Also, there's probably difference between `mipsel-linux-
gnu` and `mipsel-linux-uclib`. I'm not even sure which one we are supposed
to support. Both? I don't think we currently support `mipsel-linux-gnu`.
If you are willing to take a look at updating them, that would be great. I
assume that if there was sufficient interest, we would at least get one
single request for updating the compiler. The version has not been touched
for the last 12 years.
I would say that we should either bring the ports up to date and make them
maintainable, or put them to rest. Keeping unmaintainable patches for gcc
3.4 doesn't really serve anyone.
