RE: building for mips target glibc-headers target


At the time I think it was the latest and greatest or near to the top.

I have never like to go for the bleeding edge, personally, unless there is a major bug problem that has been addressed.  I have been doing this too long to know that the buggiest is always the tip, and the most stable is usually one or two steps removed from the tip. 

Jus my 2¢

Cool.  Clearly, I need to add gcc-3.4.x/glibc-2.3.2 back to the
build matrix.

Are the 2.4.18 patches anything you'd like to contribute to
crosstool, in the interest of expanding the build matrix?

Also, any particular reason you used binutils 2.15.94.0.2.2
other than 'its the latest'?  I do see a bunch of good properties
in the release notes
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/release.binutils-2.15.94.0.2.2,
but am curious what made you try it.
