Hey Benny!

 BP> most developments are on debian, and childs like amiga arch follow
 BP> some time, sadly

So I've noticed.  That's one of the reasons I started to grow my own way back 
when.

 BP> that would be fail

Probably.  However I heard the same thing about a pure 64-bit cross-compiler 
for raspi3 and managed to pull it off.  A native aarch64 was created on the 
raspi3 using a slackwarearm as the initial boot/root system using a replacement 
up to date kernel that was cross-compiled on a x86_64.  However after reading 
about the amiga I have a feeling you are probably right about it failing.

 BP> the boot strap should be recompiled on real hardware

Agreed.  I've always believed that if a computer can't take care of itself it 
isn't worth booting up in the first place.

 BP> plenti :)

Do you actually use any of them, and if so, for what purpose?

 BP> i dont play games :=)

Same here.

 BP> work space used was just 1.8GB while compile it

Did you do that on any of your amiga's?  If so how did you manage to provide 
the work space needed?  Also, also why all the languages?  For gcc-6.4.0 all it 
needs is gcc and g++.

Life is good,
Maurice
