This change upgrades to the latest portcosmo gcc patch
6728fe1a25185560603ca312a8d4352af2a4e515 which lets us avoid needing to
define __tmpcosmo_FOO constants. We're now using an appropriate binutils
version for GCC 11. The older binutils sometimes wasn't able to print
backtraces, due to not being able to find a .debug_ranges section.
This is breaking change for /opt/cosmos libraries :'( due to this weird
"error: need linked-to section for --gc-sections" that pops up.
Please run `make clean` in the monorepo before rebuilding.
This change integrates e58abc1110b335a3341e8ad5821ad8e3880d9bb2 from
https://github.com/ahgamut/musl-cross-make/ which fixes the issues we
were having with our C language extension for symbolic constants. This
change also performs some code cleanup and bug fixes to getaddrinfo().
It's now possible to compile projects like ncurses, readline and python
without needing to patch anything upstream, except maybe a line or two.
Pretty soon it should be possible to build a Linux distro on Cosmo.
I wanted a tiny scriptable meltdown proof way to run userspace programs
and visualize how program execution impacts memory. It helps to explain
how things like Actually Portable Executable works. It can show you how
the GCC generated code is going about manipulating matrices and more. I
didn't feel fully comfortable with Qemu and Bochs because I'm not smart
enough to understand them. I wanted something like gVisor but with much
stronger levels of assurances. I wanted a single binary that'll run, on
all major operating systems with an embedded GPL barrier ZIP filesystem
that is tiny enough to transpile to JavaScript and run in browsers too.
