You need to either build a OpenBSD/sgi cross toolchain (at least cross binutils), or use an OpenBSD/sgi system, so that this target is available. And even with this, you'll need to tinker with binutils configuration, since ECOFF targets are not enabled on OpenBSD/sgi at the moment. > I doubt that the Indy will boot, but I am just curious. Assuming the PROM doesn't disklike the kernel load address, the system will run until it sets up its own trap vectors, since there are no tlb refill handlers for R4k processors. Supporting the ``low-end'' 64 bit capable sgi models (i.e. Indigo R4k, Indy and Indigo2) in 64 bit mode (except for the few hopeless R4000 flavours) is on my list, but low priority. Miod
