Hey have you heard of this cat @xen0n (https://github.com/xen0n)?
@xen0n has been contributing to Rust since at least May 2016 and this
winter they made installation of Rust on MIPS work correctly. That's
great, because I love that Rust supports lots of platforms, but it
takes @xen0n's determination to actually make it happen.
Most of the work was in rustup:
- Correctly "detect" host endianness on MIPS
- Support probing MIPS64 n64 targets
- cfg out the MIPS triples for windows
- Support MIPS architectures in rustup-init.sh
- Update libc for MIPS64 host builds
- www: MIPS support and cleanups
- Add MIPS/s390x builders (with PPC64 compilation fixed)
But some was in rust:
- Remove mention of mipsel target_arch
- rustbuild: support MIPS host builds
- Update compiler-rt to fix MIPS64 infinite recursion
And of course in libc:
And compiler-rt:
Wow, thanks @xen0n!.
