Flo> Same here with Little endian Mips on Decstation - Andreas Jaeger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It's [EMAIL PROTECTED] - I don't think that [EMAIL PROTECTED] would work. Flo> is working on glibc 2.2 for Mips - He thinks that 2.2 will run on mips He hopes ;-) - there's still a lot to do. And if you don't know if you have a bug in the compiler, linker or your just written routines, it's not easy.:-( Flo> out of the box but 2.1 will probably never do unless Marciej (whos email Flo> address i cant remember right know) does something about it - I feel Flo> myself to less knowledged to fix it although i think i understand the Flo> problem. I see the following problems: - get glibc 2.2 running without symbol versioning - fix binutils so that symbol versioning works - get support for MIPS/Linux into gdb/gcc/binutils so that those work without additional fixes I'm working on the first part now - and will try to report bugs in binutils so that one day glibc even works with symbol versioning (without symbol versioning you loose compatibility - for ever). As soon as I have the dynamic linker running and can execute program I'll make an announcement so that other can help and test.
