Hello.

Apologize the delay. If you are still planning to host your project at GNU Savannah please confirm it so we continue with the registration processes. If we do not get the confirmation within 2 week we will assume than you no longer plain to host the project on Savannah but if is the case please tell us - we don't bite, and it will make us gain a lot of time.

Regards,
   Sebastian

Registration Details


  • Name: Porting to AMD32 architecture
  • System Name:  amd32
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License v2 or later (Multiple licenses.  Some of the code we'll be modifiing is GPLv2-only (linux), some is GPLv3+ (binutils, gcc), some is LGPLv2.1 (glibc), etc.

)




Description:

The AMD64 architecture provides a revised, much improved revision to legacy IA32 instruction set.  However, since it operates with 64-bit pointers, the majority of programs use more memory than they would otherwise need.

This project attempts to leverage existing AMD64 hardware to operate with 32-bit pointers.  It comprises the following goals:

  - Modify Linux to identify amd32 binaries and allocate their processes in a 32-bit virtual address space.
  - Add support for amd32 binaries to the GNU toolchain.
  - Port GNU libc and the rest of userland.



Other Software Required:

N/A
