BonSlack: **UNOFFICIAL** Porting of Slackware GNU/Linux - Luca Bonissi

BonSlack: **UNOFFICIAL** porting of Slackware GNU/Linux to ARM, DEC Alpha, HPPA, LoongArch, MIPS, OpenRISC, PowerPC, RISC-V, S/390x, SH4, SPARC64

Following the status of BonSlack, an (unofficial) porting of Slackware Linux to ARM, DEC Alpha, HPPA, LoongArch, MIPS, OpenRISC, PowerPC, RISC-V, S/390x, SH4, SPARC64 architectures.

The build system is the same of slackware64's one, plus (few) patches to allow compilation for architectures different than x86. Where needed, the build script was upgraded to allow the use of external variable LIBDIRSUFFIX to determine where to place libraries (lib or lib64).

The "hard" porting challenge was qtwebengine inside qt5, since it is based on Chromium and the latter has only official support for x86, arm, aarch64 and mipsel (Android architectures...). The porting to ppc, ppc64, ppc64le, mips, mips64el, riscv64, s390x, and sparc64 was based on PowerPC and BigEndian porting, plus some additional patches where needed.

[2]Missing from patches: mozilla-firefox, mozilla-thunderbird (seamonkey stops to 2.49.4)
[3]Missing from patches: mozilla-firefox, mozilla-thunderbird, seamonkey
[4]Glibc-2.33 (in -15.0) set abi default to gnuabi64 for mips64el, instead of 14.2's gnu abi. Rebuild from scratch required (binaries from 14.2 and -15.0 are not abi-compatible).
[5]Latest u-boot upgrade not (yet) built. Packages seamonkey/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-thunderbird to be built.
[6]Kernel not (yet) built. Packages seamonkey/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-thunderbird to be built.
[7]Packages seamonkey/mozilla-firefox/mozilla-thunderbird to be built.
[8]Packages seamonkey to be built.
[9]z900 minimum CPU; z990 minimum CPU for Rust due to the usage of "lay" instruction (vendor/psm/src/arch/zseries_linux.s).
[10]LIBDIR for alpha is "lib" despite it is a 64 bits architecture, because 32 bits implementation does not exists and gcc/glibc by default are simply using "lib".
[11]BonSlack 14.99 is BonSlack 15.0 but with downgraded gcc (8.2.0) and glibc (2.28) to be compatible with existing older distribution, such Yocto for Toradex Colibri system-on-chip.
[12]Bug on libclang prevents to run sip_generator.py for KDE, do not provide sip files.


Build systems

ARMv5te, ARMv7, AArch64, and RISC-V64 are build respectively on OrangePI PC (Allwinner H3, with patched arch and uname), OrangePI PC (Allwinner H3), Orange PI Prime (Allwinner H5), and Nezha (Allwinner D1) single boards. Building of rust, qt5, seamonkey, mozilla-firefox, and mozilla-thunderbird is done on AMD Ryzen 7 3700X with qemu-user, since they requires too much memory even for Orange PI Prime (2GB) with zswap activated.
For the remaining systems, the same AMD Ryzen 7 3700X system with qemu-user is used (qemu-system used to build JDK on some architectures).
ARMv5te is tested on Seagate GoFlex (Marvell Kirkwood Feroceon 88FR131 1.2 GHz, 128MB RAM with 2 SATA interfaces in RAID1). This system is also used as main repository for sources and binary packages.
