<fossy>stikonas: honestly i haven't really looked at the diffutils reproducibility issue yet lol. getting to it over easter - should be a trivial fix, i just need an hour or two to sit down and get it and a few other misc lvie bootstrap tasks done

<matrix_bridge><cosinusoidally> It'll definitely take me longer than 2 days to fully understand cc_x86. I can see how it resembles a cut down version of M2-Planet. I have seen the prototype code too, but that seems to have drifted from the current version of cc_x86. I'll see how I get on, I might try and cut down M2-Planet's C code to get a C equivalent of the current version of cc_x86 (which will probably help me to understand the...
<matrix_bridge>... code better)
<matrix_bridge><cosinusoidally> Is there a reason cc_x86 and M2-Planet use a non-standard calling convention rather than x86 cdecl? Does that simplify the design?
<oriansj>cosinusoidally: oh, I just wrote in a way that was easiest for me to remember and not make mistakes with the stack. I wasn't trying to follow any convention because I wasn't expecting my self-contained programs to be used as standard libraries.
