I don't know what Anders is building. In our case we are targeting
Coyotos (the EROS successor), and this is a big mess.

glibc is now hopelessly linux-dependent. My impression is that they gave
up on OS portability a long time ago. This is why we use newlib :-)

The C++ concern is that stdlibc++ appears to depend on a number of
things in libc that are linux- or POSIX-dependent as well. In many cases
I would be happy to just remove those parts of stdlibc++ (e.g. time
formatting).

If you were inclined to set up a non-linux crosstool scheme, we might be
willing to pay you to do it. My immediate question is: do you know
someplace where there is an existing howto for non-linux g++
cross-build, or can you provide some hints to us?

Happy to pick this up by phone if you like -- drop me an email
individually. At the very least, I'll be happy to write up whatever we
eventually get working so that others will have a hint of where to
start.
