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:

Haven't seen this one before, but I'm taking a stab and wondering if the 
-multitarget keyword is to blame.

I've never tried disabling it, but it looks like your building natively on the 
O2, so your userland/system binutils will be 32bit (mips-unknown-linux-gnu), but 
if you somehow disabled binutils from building a mips64 target (which I think it 
does during normal installs, cause they take up hardly no space), then I could 
see why the aboved referenced elf64* file is missing.

Try building w/ multitarget enabled, and see if that changes things.
