I am a beginner to CentOS and rhel related stuff, and I have found devtoolset is an awesome tool. Then I found there is a devtoolset-12 (gcc, gdb and etc) for x86-64 and ppc on CentOS 7, but there is no such thing for aarch64. The latest devtoolset that contains gcc for aarch64 is devtoolset-10.
I was wondering why it is like this so I checked the source rpm for them then I found there is a line of code in devtoolset-12-gcc and devtoolset-11-gcc:
Code: Select all
%if 0%{?rhel} == 7
ExcludeArch: aarch64
%endif
My question is: Is this intentional that we will not have new devtoolset for aarch64 and why?
Thanks
ps: I know that rhel 7 does not maintain the aarch64 architecture (but CentOS 7 has one)
