Ok...can't get the toolchain to build under Linux so far :-( Rather than start with an older dist (cough..redhat..cough), I'm starting to wonder if I should start from total scratch (cross-compiling glibc, gcc, and binutils snapshots to start with) and go from there.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Also, I was wondering something. Under Irix (5.3), it lists the cpu in this as an R4400 with an R4000SC FPU. I know it's a 200MHz Indy and noted in a few texts around the net that it has a 64-bit address bus. Under Linux, it lists that it's an R4000SC. First off, why the difference between the two OS's? Also, since the address bus is 64-bit, isn't this a 64-bit processor? If so, why use 32-bit binaries? It is possible that we could do something akin to the sparc32/sparc64 port situation, where the 32-bit port can handle 32-bit binaries, but the 64-bit port can handle both. Confused, C
