Basically we don't want to try to support host systems where we have no access to hardware that will let us compile and run the test suite, and where there's nobody interacting with us upstream to help fix issues that are Haiku related. If there's genuinely a community of Haiku QEMU users out there who want to help us maintain the support in the QEMU codebase that's great. What we don't want is to be carrying around code we can't test and where we don't seem to have anybody using it. (For instance we're about to drop support for AIX...) > We're working on a docker container to cross-compile rust-lang for > Haiku, could this be of some use to qemu when complete? Cross-compilation won't let us run the test suite. thanks -- PMM
