Re: [GXemul-devel] NetBSD/hpcmips install fails under GXemul 0.6.1

[Anders G. <ga...@gm...>]

Yes, the testmips failures are known issues -- I am removing everything
MIPS related from the "new" framework, concentrating on the old framework
where MIPS things actually work. Some unit tests remain to be rewritten to
use some other architecture for testing.

The important thing now is that a full install of NetBSD/hocmips can be
done and that you can run something meaningful non-trivial in it, such as
compile programs.

As for the NetBSD patches, almost all of them were applied 20190417: see
http://gavare.se/gxemul/gxemul-trunk/HISTORY.html

One which I did not apply due to lack of spare time for testing was the
patch regarding which CPU models that lack an FPU.
