Status of the newlib MMIX port
See also the installation instructions for
running the GCC test-suite and status of other tools and parts.
The newlib port for MMIX works, and is included in the official Red Hat newlib project
sources, to be included in the next release. It translates
basic system functions to mmixware "system" calls and implements the rest
of the standard C library (not C99, though, just C89 I think).
Issues
- There is no mmixware call for deleting files.
- The return value from main, equivalent to the parameter to exit (), is
not propagated by the mmix simulator when it exits.
