Is possible to compile the entire Linux kernel with Sun Compilers?
Hi,
i just wan't to test performance of theese compilers under Linux. I have a good experience in solaris. But I'm not really sure if i can compile kernel with them.
Using Sun Studio Express (12), under gentoo amd64 scratch :-).
I set variables CC to "cc -m64" & CXX to "CC -m64"

Sorry, not there yet. We are able to compile most of the language weirdness present in Linux kernel. Yet we do not support a couple of assembler-related extensions which do not let us compile functional kernel.

Thats wrong - in Sun Studio 12 we do support -m64, and even more - it is now a preferred way to specify architecture bitness.
