BonSlack: **UNOFFICIAL** Porting of Slackware Linux - Luca Bonissi

BonSlack: **UNOFFICIAL** porting of Slackware Linux to ARM, PowerPC, MIPS, RISC-V, and S/390x

Following the status of BonSlack, an (unofficial) porting of Slackware Linux to ARM, PowerPC, MIPS, RISC-V, S/390x architectures.

The build system is the same of slackware64's one, plus (few) patches to allow compilation for architectures different that x86. Where needed, the build script was upgraded to allow the use of external variable LIBDIRSUFFIX to determine where to place libraries (lib or lib64).

The "hard" porting challenge was qtwebengine inside qt5, since it is based on Chromium and the latter has only official support for x86, arm, aarch64 and mipsel (Android architectures...). The porting to ppc, ppc64, ppc64le, mips, mips64el, riscv64, and s390x was based on PowerPC and BigEndian porting, plus some additional patches where needed.

Build systems

ARMv5te, ARMv7, AArch64, and RISC-V64 are build respectively on OrangePI PC (Allwinner H3, with patched arch and uname), OrangePI PC (Allwinner H3), Orange PI Prime (Allwinner H5), and Nezha (Allwinner D1) single boards. Building of rust, qt5, seamonkey, mozilla-firefox, and mozilla-thunderbird is done on AMD Ryzen 7 3700X with qemu-user, since they requires too much memory even for Orange PI Prime (2GB) with zswap activated.
For the remaining systems, the same AMD Ryzen 7 3700X system with qemu-user is used (qemu-system used to build JDK on some architectures).
ARMv5te is tested on Seagate GoFlex (Marvell Kirkwood Feroceon 88FR131 1.2 GHz, 128MB RAM with 2 SATA interfaces in RAID1). This system is also used as main repository for sources and binary packages.
