   If bug reports (unofficial and on wrong maillist) are wished, the
attachment contains one coming from China...

   I tried the binutils-2.13.2.1 sources for 'mips-wince-pe' and met the
same bug and a short study told that wrapping this member in the MIPS
pseudo-op table could fix it:

------------- clip -----------------------------
static const pseudo_typeS mips_pseudo_table[] =
{
    /* MIPS specific pseudo-ops.  */

<snip>

     {"word", s_cons, 2},
#ifndef NO_ECOFF_DEBUGGING
    { "extern", ecoff_directive_extern, 0},
#endif
    { NULL, NULL, 0 },
};
------------- clip -----------------------------

   I couldn't easily produce a diff just now, so this was taken from
the fixed 'gas/config/tc-mips.c'. Surprisingly Wreckor didn't mention
the bug and the fix made for it...

  Of couse the 'mips-wince-pe', 'mips-mingw32' etc. possible targets
with the MIPS/PE format have very minimal or zero support in the GCC
sources, but this is a separate issue.

   I really don't care but there can be others like Wreckor who do care
about the 'mips-pe' support and post to some list, not necessarily to
the right one...

Cheers, Kai

• Subject: mips-pe target

hello all:
Does binutils support for mips-pe target support? or what exactly target
alias should i use when configure it? I am working on Win2k.
I build the whole toolchain of gcc( gcc 3.2, binutils 2.13, newlib
1.11.0), configured with target=mips-pe, and not yet test the result.
But when i use dlltool, I got some bad news:

dlltool -C -d test.def -e test.exp -D test.dll -l test.lib
dlltool: Machine 'mips' not supported

dlltool --help
Usage dlltool <option(s)> <object-file(s)>
   -m --machine <machine>    Create as DLL for <machine>.  [default:
mips]
        possible <machine>: arm[_interwork], i386, mcore[-elf]{-le|-be},
ppc, thumb
......

Although the toolchain contains dlltool, but seems to me that this
dlltool doesn't support mips cpu?

Could anybody tell me something about this target( or mips*-*-pe)? Had
gcc been ported for that?
I looked through google, but few information.

thanks,
wreckor
