<h3>Current status:</h3>

The development of this port is currently stalled, while people are busy

Recent work on the toolchain eventually produced a working compiler, as long

dissecting the mvme88k back-end of gcc and fixing the code generation errors.

as optimization is not enabled; work is in progress towards getting reliable

optimization as well. Unfortunately, numerous kernel stability problems make

this effort progress very slowly at the moment.

supports only MVME187 cards and can be used as a very crude basis to rebuild

a complete system, for the adventurous hacker. If you want to get it, ask

Due to the recent toolchain improvements, a new snapshot is expected soon.
