Happy to. The toolchain that built Worked For Me with stock-ish devuan. (Using
the cmake/ninja from the repo, nothing special.) According to the discussion
thread I SHOULD be able to remove most of the compiler flags and micromanaging
options, it's just slow to iterate builds taking a thing or two out at a time
and retesting.
QEMU hexagon application emulation is there and working now in vanilla (git
cloned qemu, did the "populate your darn subrepos" invocation, and then
./configure and make.) I haven't found qemu system emulation yet but presumably
there's something in the works. (Their kernel header build copied their full
kernel build context, and they're using comet_defconfig which is at least the
same _name_ as those test boards from 2010. So not exactly a rapidly moving
target on that side of things. :)
