Build rust on ARM from a snapshot #9

Closed japaric closed 9 years ago

japaric commented 10 years ago

Caveats:

This is painfully slow. Last time I tried, the built took around 4h to complete. (Note: that time includes building LLVM)
This sometimes OOMs, although the process can be manually resumed without problems, this issue affects automation.

I'm retrying this, but not using a real stage0 snapshot (i.e. a single statically linked rustc binary), but instead a previously built tarball + --enable-local--rust.

Ultimately, I'll like to setup build automation on my ARM device, as this would let me run the test suite as well.
