Use GCC6 for all POWER8 platforms (everything but Witherspoon) We bring in P8 Hostboot patches from https://github.com/open-power/hostboot/pull/62 as we wait for Hostboot development team to merge them. Fixes: https://github.com/open-power/hostboot/issues/69 Fixes: https://github.com/open-power/hostboot/issues/61 Fixes: https://github.com/open-power/op-build/issues/355 Signed-off-by: Stewart Smith <stewart@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
The OpenPOWER firmware build process uses Buildroot to create a toolchain and build the various components of the PNOR firmware, including Hostboot, Skiboot, OCC, Petitboot etc.

To build an image for a Palmetto system:
git clone --recursive git@github.com:open-power/op-build.git cd op-build . op-build-env op-build palmetto_defconfig && op-build
There are also default configurations for other platforms in openpower/configs/ such as Habanero and Firestone.
Buildroot/op-build supports both native and cross-compilation - it will automatically download and build an appropriate toolchain as part of the build process, so you don't need to worry about setting up a cross-compiler. Cross-compiling from a x86-64 host is officially supported.
