Anybody knows how the native
compiler progresses ?
It's coming along, as Matt already said. There's quite some way to go yet, though, since I want to do a clean job.
Right now the binutils (that is, the linker, the assembler and a few other tools) are being worked on and almost finished in their cross-platform version, meaning that you'll soon be able to download the latest version of the binutils from the official source and you'll be able to configure it to produce code runnable under AROS.
Right after the binutils I'll tackle gcc, which will be a much easier job. Still in the "cross" form, though.
Then, with those tools, I'll be able to attempt a native compilation of the binutils, and then of gcc. But for this to happen in a clean way some work will have to be done on the AROS' libc, since right now it's missing most of the signaling stuff.
All this is done in my spare time, which I'm not rich of these last days...
