GCC 4.1 looks rock solid on MIPS, with some minor issues. > 1. Assembler warnings > > 20 packages had assembler warnings on MIPS. A list will be sent to > debian-mips so Thiemo Seufer (or others) can investigate. The following packages showed assembler warnings: dietlibc_0.29-9 ffcall_1.10-2 freej_0.8.1-2 gcc-2.95_2.95.4.ds15-24 gcc-3.3_1:3.3.6-13 gcj-4.1_4.1.0-1 ghdl_0.21-1 glibc_2.3.6-4 kernel-patch-2.4.27-mips_2.4.27-11.040815-3 lcd4linux_0.10.0+cvs20051015-3 mozilla-thunderbird_1.0.7-3 mozilla_2:1.7.12-1.1 nvu_1.0final-1 pocketpc-gcc_3.4.2-2 postgresql-7.4_1:7.4.12-2 postgresql-8.0_8.0.7-2 prc-tools_2.3-1 thunderbird_1.5-4 visualboyadvance_1.7.2-5 xulrunner_1.8.0.1-5 > 2.

We have to check whether those packages > should be fixed (userspace should not depend on kernel headers anyway) > or whether the kernel can provide a generic cpu-feature-overrides.h. The packages are: eagle-usb_2.1.1-2 ltp_20050107-3 wmtune_1.1-1.1 svgatextmode_1.9-15 sysklogd_1.4.1-17.1 twin_0.5.1-3 twin_0.5.1-3 (Ooops, twin is listed twice... make that 6 packages ;) Thiemo, how do I find xgot usage again? Just a simple grep for "xgot"?
