Is it necessary to rebuild the toolchain every time? Also, perhaps a generic MIPS suite can be used; it shouldn't to necessary to have one specifically made for the R5900 (except libc, if needed, I guess). As an alternative, TobiX at Github made an R5900 Docker image last year <https://github.com/frno7/linux/issues/33#issuecomment-632284209>, perhaps it could be useful somehow? Fredrik
