Hi!
As has been mentioned, the nvptx port of newlib that we recently
contributed is primarily used for GCC toolchains with nvptx offloading.
To highlight which newlib versions (in terms of Git revisions) are
recommended/have been tested with which respective GCC branches
(gcc-5-branch onwards), I'd like to set up corresponding Git branches in
the newlib Git repository, which I'd update occasionally (fast-forward
merges from newlib Git master branch).
I propose to use a top-level "nvptx" namespace, so create a handful of
newlib Git branches with names like "nvptx/gcc-8-branch/master" (specific
for "nvptx" target, suitable for/tested with "gcc-8-branch", tracking
newlib "master"), etc. I'll document that on
<https://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#nvptx-x-none>, and/or
<https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/nvptx>, and/or any newlib page you'd like to
see this documented on.
If that's OK, I'll then ask the sourceware overseers to grant me write
access to the newlib Git repository.
Grüße
Thomas
