Good to know. I've managed to scavenge some alien'ed redhat packages of gcc and binutils. I succeeded in building H.J. Lu's binutils 2.10.0.24, but the latest gcc snapshot is not building (000828). I'll start winding back snapshots until I find one that works. After that, I'm going to start really working on generating a quality set of toolchain debs. > If anyone wants - I have a mipsel and a mips machine up and running > with a mix of redhat and debian which i run my brute force builders > on and i will happily give out shell acounts with ssh ... I may take you up on this, but for now, I'll be fine (now that gcc works :-P). In the meantime, I'll see if I can comb the binutils list for any patches that might apply to mips/mipsel that we may need that might have been applied after HJ released this version. FYI, if I find any, I'll start patching the debian package and upload a new version. It's good to have the binutils maintainer interested in the port, isn't it...hehehe...:-P C
