FOSDEM event "A fresh look at toolchains in 2021"

Bernhard Rosenkränzer

Type maintrack

binutils, gcc and glibc are no longer the only options. Are they still the best?

Starts on day 2 (2021-02-07) at 11:00 (Brussels time, UTC+1) in room Misc (duration 01:00)

Matrix room #misc:fosdem.org

Not too long ago, it was clear how to build a new toolchain -- build binutils, build a gcc bootstrap compiler, build glibc, build a full featured gcc, debug it with gdb. That is still a good option - but no longer the only one: These days, alternatives to each of those components are available.

This talk examines the available options and gives recommendations of what components make sense for what use cases.
