I am not so sure abou that - but I also might be wrong here.

I am currently working on it but OE refuses to build when I enable
-msoft-float. Hopefully just a matter of upgrading some packages - I am
now on GCC 4.3.3, binutils 2.19.1 and glibc 2.7.

Once I get it to build again I should be able to create a
cross-toolchain for you that should get you started. I will first create
a rootfs for the Letux with applications and Xfbdev, but usually without
development support.

Once I have the packages ready I will upload them to the LTg Mipsbook
project file release system.
