The C compiler in the Go tree that's used to compile the C bits of the runtime already supports ARMv4 (unsurprisingly, since it was written a long time ago for Plan 9 and Inferno), only the Go compiler would need modifications.

The compiler suite is a pleasure to work on, really clear code, just like all the other code Ken Thompson wrote. Good luck.



Even nicer. Thanks for the info.

I'll submit results if I get anywhere - might take a month or two :-)

Currently trying to a (any) toolchain online first to test the board and get a ucLinux kernel up (gcc cross-compiler + OpenOCD + Olimex ARM-JTAG + ThinkPad Ultrabay parallel port stack should be 'fun').


Replying to myself. ucLinux + hello world + gdb via OpenOCD online at 4AM :)

Now for the go toolchain...
