This is the Linux patch for Intel's port of GNU C Compiler and cross-development tools for i960 family of processors. You need the source distribution Rel_4.6.tar.Z which can be downloaded from Intel ftp site and then apply this patch set.
Download linux-patch_4.6.tgz patch for Linux.
Create directory, e.g. /usr/src/gnu960, untar the distribution Rel_4.6.tar.Z, apply the patch, then run commands:
admin/mkhost linux
make HOST=linux
You should end up with the (partial) tool set in directory /usr/src/gnu960/linux/bin. I used Linux 1.2.13 and gcc version 2.6.3. Add following to your environment:
G960BASE=/usr/src/gnu960/linux
G960BIN=/usr/src/gnu960/linux/bin
Add /usr/src/gnu960/linux/bin to your path and enjoy ...
Note that this is a minimalist patch to get the most useful tools to compile. Any improvements, comments, etc. are welcome, please send e-mail to juttl@alfalab.ca
