Having trouble building Heads because bad fetch urls

[fjUSoF3CCTtX]

I am using this as the build guide http://osresearch.net/Building.html, which says to git clone https://github.com/osresearch/heads. I am using x230 running Debian 10 to attempt the build.

The make process is failing to complete because many of the links in the build files don't work. I have edited the files to use functioning urls based on the log outputs when the make process fails. For example, I had to replace GMP_ARCHIVE="https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gmp/gmp-${GMP_Version}.tar.xz" with GMP_ARCHIVE="https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gmp/gmp-${GMP_Version}.tar.xz in heads/build/coreboot-4.8.1/util/crossgcc/buildgcc. But, I have stalled out with heads/build/musl-cross-git/defs.sh. The fetch for http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?=config.get;a=blob_plain;f= doesn't work because http://git.savannah.gnu.org appears to be non-fuctional. What a potential replacement url might be is not transparent to me, so I am stuck for the moment.

Is there something I am missing? Or is there a more up-to-date set of files for building Heads?

@fjUSoF3CCTtX should be fixed with latest commit 8af849c

Please confirm and close ticket

[osresearch]

coreboot's cross compiler is no longer used as of #653, musl-cross-make has updated URLs and verifies the hashes as well.

Still the case today from musl-cross-make
savannah git is not reliable to get config.sub
