Love #bootlin toolchains but wish there was also #aarch64 hosted versions of each :-) https://toolchains.bootlin.com/

troglobit@fosstodon.org@jarkko what do you mean by “hosted”? We use their aarch64 toolchains daily

@troglobit binaries are for x86 despite there is target for aarch64. i.e. host is x86 and target is aarch64. i'd like also have in addition that to have compilers for different targets where host is aarch64. i.e. they are x86 hosted.
for instance i have x86 PC's and Mac Mini. Sometimes I'd like to use a VM in that mac mini to run bootlin toolchains. and e.g. in buildroot config i rarely use "external tooclhain" option because it is not portable with the machine architectures i have.

troglobit@fosstodon.org@jarkko ah of course! I blame the lack of coffee 😂 Yeah we had a customer that wanted to build on their M1 macs.

@troglobit ya, it is not like a dev machine of any kind but still would be nice to have the toolchain for occasional use :-)

troglobit@fosstodon.org@jarkko considering how blazingly quick those CPUs are, it's not impossible to see them increasing in popularity. So maybe not too far away?
I guess you've seen the https://github.com/bootlin/toolchains-builder/ project already? In case you want to maintain one yourself.

thanks! i'll check it out. however, would be nice if simply by cloning buildroot and selecting "external toolchain" it would just work :-)
