Hi, i have started building packages for "mipsel" the little endian mips. I have currently NO gcc and/or glibc packages which is the worst problem right now ....
Here is a dpkg --list from the Decstation 5000/150 (Same packages on the other machine) ...

A couple of packages are essentially broken as i had not the tools to build documentation etc - ALso the dependencies should be broken as there is NO installed glibc from the dpkg database ... Ill put up these packages somewhere (probably source.rfc822.org/debian/dists/unstable/local/binary-mipsel ) ... Hopefully the both machines will be available on the net the next days ...
