Research direction

Start from the original threads #117, #201, and #209 to see what evidence was already gathered. For RISC-V, inspect the pinned formula riscv-gnu-toolchain.rb to identify the source revision, then record the compiler version and confirm ARM64 host architecture. For Tomcat, follow the setup guide and record Tomcat, Java, and macOS versions plus JVM architecture. Done means the riscv-gnu-toolchain, gcc-arm-embedded, and tomcat listings have their evidence fields updated and are no longer left unverified.

Description

Preserve the remaining verification work from the completed listing requests #117, #201, and #209. The listings have been added or updated; these checks are still outstanding.

  • RISC-V toolchain: identify the source revision or release in the arm64_sequoia bottle, record the installed compiler version, and verify ARM64 host architecture. The pinned formula labels the version main. Keep the listing unverified until resolved. Original discussion: #117.
  • GNU Arm A-profile scope: verify the macOS ARM64-hosted package and supported A-profile target separately. The existing listing currently establishes only the darwin-arm64 / arm-none-eabi embedded scope. Official guide. Original discussion: #201.
  • Tomcat runtime: record successful startup with an ARM64 JDK, including Tomcat, Java, and macOS versions and JVM architecture. Tomcat 10.1 requires Java 11 or later, but package availability alone does not verify this runtime. Listing, Homebrew listing, setup documentation. Original discussion: #209.

Maintainer follow-up: @ThatGuySam. These are evidence gaps, not new claims of tested native support.
