[cfe-dev] A new release of ELLCC is available

[Richard Pennington via cfe-dev]

A new binary release of the ELLCC cross compilation tool chain is available.
ELLCC is a pre-packaged set of tools designed to support cross compilation
for a variety of target processors.

This release has simple instructions for cross building Linux for the
Raspberry Pi: http://ellcc.org/blog/?p=26628 and updates several libraries.
This is the last release which will be built with autohell. I hope that 
I can
figure out how to use cmake soon for the next release.

ELLCC includes:
* ecc (a clang/ELLCC based C/C++ compiler)
* binutils
* GDB
* QEMU (on x86_64 Linux hosts)

The ELLCC run-time libraries are supplied pre-built for all targets and
are all covered with BSD-like licenses:
* libc++        The C++ standard library
* musl          The POSIX compliant C library
* compiler-rt   Low level compiler support
* expat         XML parsing
* libedit       Command history
* ncurses       Terminal handling
* zlib          Compression
* curl          ULR syntax data transfer
* libevent      Event notification
* mbed TLS      TLS
* c-ares        Asynchronous DNS
* libssh2       Client side SSH2
* libmetalink   Metalink support
* openldap      Lightweight directory access protocol
* nanomsg       Several common communication patterns

ELLCC is entirely self hosting.

 From the ChangeLog:

version 0.1.28:

* Update to curl 7.47.0.
* Update to binutils 2.26.
* Update autoconf files for several libraries.
* Update to LLVM r258477.
* Added missing aarch64 compiler-rt functions: __floatditf, etc.
* Add wireless tools build to ecclinux.
* Update to LLVM r257984.
* Add less build to ecclinux.

Binary tarballs are available from http://ellcc.org/blog/?page_id=20295

The tool chain can build programs for ARM, Mips, PowerPC, and x86 Linux and
stand-alone targets and x86 Windows systems.

Pre-built binaries are available for ARM, Mips, and x86 Linux host systems
as well as x86_64 Windows and Mac OS X hosts.

All host systems can build programs for all the supported targets.

Available targets are listed here: http://ellcc.org/blog/?page_id=313
