Hello! As of commit 5708485, I have successfully cross-built the 5 tarballs of bootstrap binaries (Coreutils & co., GCC, libc, Binutils, and Guile) for mips64el-linux-gnu (N32).
That means that we can cross-build them for any GNU/Linux architecture supported by the tool chain. This will make porting the distro to new architectures much easier. The mips64el-linux-gnu binaries (shortly available from <http://hydra.gnu.org/jobset/gnu/core-updates>) appear to work, except perhaps for Guile, which aborts at startup. However, I haven’t been able to debug it, because strace there displays the syscall names, but not their arguments. Anyway, our first target will be mips64el-linux-gnu/N64 so that’s what we should focus on now. Perhaps armel will come next? :-) Ludo’.
