Thanks, added to
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/toolchains/configs/gcc10/toolchain.config.

However note that I haven't see build results coming from gcc10 since
about two days.

> gcc14 toolchain config is:
> BR2_powerpc=y
> BR2_powerpc_603e=y
> BR2_HOST_DIR="/home/peko/br/ppc603e-wl6"
> BR2_JLEVEL=8
> BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_LARGEFILE=y
> BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_INET_IPV6=y
> BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_WCHAR=y

Is this running on a x86/x86-64 machine? If so, then what we need to do
is generate a tarball from the toolchain you have
in /home/peko/br/ppc603e-wl6/, and then use this tarball as the
external toolchain instead of making a reference to this local
directory. This will allow everyone to reproduce the build.

Would you agree to do this?

Argh. Then what can we do to allow other people to reproduce the build?
I agree that doing a build targeting x86 on a !x86 machine is really
an interesting test, so I'd like to keep it. Or maybe we just say that
the build results from this machine cannot easily be reproduced by
others and we live with it?

Thanks!
