Remove mentions of debootstrap and chroots from the m68k-unknown-none-elf platform support doc by knickish · Pull Request #150438 · rust-lang/rust

knickish · 2025-12-27T16:48:34Z

I left the mentions of qemu-user-static as it's one of the only easily accessible emulators for m68k, even though you would have to write your own _start and such. The C toolchain that is mentioned is also the easiest way I've found so far to get a linker, which is still needed unless I'm missing something.

Noratrieb is not on the review rotation at the moment.
They may take a while to respond.

Shouldn't rust-lld work just fine as a linker?

knickish · 2025-12-27T17:03:10Z

rust-lld

lld does not support m68k yet

Noratrieb · 2025-12-27T17:49:34Z

Ah, okay, that would be good to add to the page in the section about installing a C toolchain

I see your point though, moved it higher up so it's clearer that it applies to building with the toolchain, not just for building the toolchain itself.
