OpenBSD/loongson hardware platform retired
2 months ago
- OpenBSD/loongson hardware platform has been retired.
- The retirement is due to compiler issues with clang 22 on mips64el, causing SIGSEGV errors, and lack of time to debug it.
- The commit message by Miod Vallat explains the reasons, noting that rebuilding clang takes 10 days and reverting to gcc 4 wouldn't help with modern software requirements.
- A link to Miod's OpenBSD stories collection is offered as consolation.
