During kernel compile ld(1) is unable to find
/usr/lib/binutils/mips-unknown-linux-gnu/2.16.1/ldscripts

I was able to compile my current kernel without problems prior to changing
to gcc 4.1.1 and rebuilding world with the -e flag, so I have a bad feeling
something was altered to make this error occur.

To get through the compile I created a link within /usr/src/linux like so:

ln -s /usr/lib/binutils/mips-unknown-linux-gnu/2.16.1/ldscripts .

However, even with the working .config that is running on my machine or the
default ip32 config, I can't get this newly compiled kernel to work. It just
hangs or does even load.


Here is the original error:

nano linux # make vmlinux.32 modules modules_install

Here is some system information that I hope will assist someone in pointing
me at any mistakes I might have made:
