Hi,

when I was visiting my parents last weekend I took my Sgi Octane from the 
attic, it even still powers up, yay! I hope to find the time to finalize the 
dietlibc mips64 port during one of the next weekends, ...

That is good news.

I had to pin my Mips64 T2 tree to a snapshot from early January (Jan 4th or something like that) because the stuff using the new dietlibc would not successfully link under mips64. In addition to that, the move to GCC 4.5.2 is giving internal compiler errors when building the stage1 GCC :-(. GCC 4.5.1 is still working fine.

Hi,

We need to fix dietlibs for mips64 for real, too - maybe time to get an Sgi O2 
from eBay (or ask my parents to bring the Octane to Berlin on my 30th birthday 
this Saturday, 'though it was quite loud, bulky  and heavy, ...) :-)

Will review / apply the patches soon, any reason you duplicated the whole 
gcc.confirm int the architecture package directory?

Hi Rene,

Here are the last 3 patches that are needed for "generic minimal" to build on 
Mips64.

Since you mentioned that the latest GCC was also failing for you while building 
e2fsprogs, I am including the patch to roll back to GCC 4.4.3.

With these patches, the 9.0 branch will cross build Mips64, I will also 
consider back-porting all the Mips64 fixes  to the 8.0 branch, if you are 
planning to do an 8.1 release.

Hi again,

While usually building 64bit binaries on 32bit system was (and should) not a

Yes, Probability something specific about  building on 32-bit Suse SLES-11,  To 
move forward, I had to roll back to GCC 4.4.3.
Eventually I would like to set up a T2 host, or at least somthing more compatable 
for cross  building T2, but am currently short of time&   fast machines.

Looking back at the GCC 4.5.0 compiler failure back in May, that was an 
internal compiler error while building e2fsprogs on Ubuntu 9.10,
GCC 4.5.0 Built OK at stage 1 in that situation.
indeed, in my trunk (built on a x86_64 t2/trunk) e2fsprogs get's the cross gcc 
to an internal compiler error (ICE), ...
