Bug#868895: Please add xtensa toolchain to debian
Package: gcc-6
Version: 6.3.0-18
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
The xtensa architecture is gaining popularity through cheap and popular
ESP8266 and ESP32 wifi enabled MCU with Arduino & maker community
(xtensa-lx106-elf).
It is also useful for ath9k-htc development and was requested here
without answer AFAIK:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-gcc/2016/08/msg00175.html
A few links:

https://github.com/esp8266/esp8266-wiki/issues/26
It would be nice to have binutils and gcc-xtensa just
like we have binutils-avr, gcc-avr, *-msp430 and a few other popular
MCU cross development tools in debian.
Sincerely,
Laurent
