Hi Sten,
This is exactly the information I was looking for. I apologize for porly
wording my original email. I was under impression that original octeon
(mips64) packages were built on SGI hardware which is no longer
supported so I was curios about new build machines. I am fully aware
that mips64 packages are available for 6.6 even though I try to stick
for most part with tools from the base.
Best,
Predrag
