</div>I could build the gdc toolchains, but I need some more information:<br>
<br>
What OS should the toolchains target? Linux, windows or "bare-metal"?<br>
(Especially the x86 toolchains)<br>
<br>
Do you need libdruntime/libphobos or is a plain compiler enough? I'm<br>
not sure if druntime compiles for SH4, MIPS and PPC.<br>
