Ok, Everything looks good with the Mips64 build until the kernel.
I was getting the following error with both the generic Mips64 kernel, and My board
specific kernel when built via the T2 SDE.
===[main_lx:84 (last $?=0)> case "$lx_cpu" in
===[main_lx:98 (last $?=0)> cp -vf vmlinux.ecoff
/opt/T2/t2-trunk/build/Mips64-orig-9.0-trunk-generic-mips64-EB-cross-linux/boot/vmlinux_2.6.35.5-dist.ecoff
cp: cannot stat `vmlinux.ecoff': No such file or directory
Due to previous errors, no 1-linux26.log file!
(Try enabling xtrace in the config to track an error inside the build system.)
--- BUILD ERROR ---
Upon investigation, the linux.mips kernel folk have recently changed the location of the
vmlinux.ecof file. They have moved it down into arch/mips/boot/vmlinux.ecof. it used to be
up in the top dir with vmlinux.
There is a dependency in the linux24.conf file that has the path of this file hard coded.
that file is pulled in for the 2.6 kernel builds too.
To build a 2.6.35.5 kernel, the following change is needed:

After that fix, if fails on the mkinitrd stage, since we don't have dietlibc, and
therefore we don't have embutils which depends on it, and mkinitrd wants these, or fails,
so the quick fix is to skip over mkinitrd for now, so we can continue with the build. need
to find a better permanent solution...

Now the linux26 builds, but some stage 1 packages after the kernel build are still
failing, (like mpfr) will post further progress as it happens...
