Native GCC compiler

[Bharath_R_]

I am interested in setting up a native GCC compiler for the Xeon Phi 5110P. I am dependent on usng GCC and my build workflow will be cleaner if I can compile natively. I was wondering if I can use what is availabe to download from gcc.gnu.org or would I have to get custom patches. If I need custom patched GCC where can I download it from. The src directory only has srpms for kmod.

On http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-manycore-platform-software-stack-mpss along with the links to the MPSS releases you will find RedHat SOURCE and  SuSE SLES11 SOURCE. Start there. (Look in both the gpl and src directories.) There is already a gcc cross compiler for the coprocessor in /usr/linux-k1om-4.7/bin on the host.

Thanks for pointing out the location for the source. I have been using the gcc cross compiler till now. My build workflow is a little bit simpler if I am able to use a native compiler. I will try to build a native compiler, else will continue to use the cross compiler as I am doing currently.
