RE: building for mips target glibc-headers target

["Marc Karasek" <marck at ivivity dot com>]

Actually, I did a build with :
gcc 3.4.1
glibc 2.3.2
binutils 2.15.94.0.2.2

This has worked for us for both kernel 2.4.18 & 2.6.11.  (I had to backport some small items to 2.4.18, but they were nto major items.  The major one was the compiler.h file.)

The build matrix at
http://kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.31/buildlogs/
shows some problems with mips and gcc-3.4, but it
could also just problems with mips and glibc-2.3.3 and higher;
glibc-2.3.2 wasn't tested.

Or is Arno referring to some other source of informtion?
