I should probably make an x32-hosted, x32-targeting compiler to build my cross compilers. Would likely reduce ram needed by 1/2.

@RichFelker I only think about i786 these days. Noticed compilers don't even emit x87 FPU code anymore (silly FPU stack). It's all SSE.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@mjcmeta For 32-bit x86 the x87 regs are part of the ABI, so compilers have to, short of replacing the ABI.

@mjcmeta And replacing the ABI for an arch that's largely replaced already is not what most ppl consider a good use of effort.

@mjcmeta In any case, the details don't matter; all that matters for making GCC builds faster/less-mem-hogging is using 32-bit pointers.
