Not sure if you're building natively or not… I've found QEMU these days runs mips(el)(64) targets decently on modern hardware, as that's what I used to bootstrap mips64el n64 stages for Loongson a couple of years ago. I'm told the same instructions used today hit a bump in the road regarding gdbm and gettext bickering about infrastructure ("gettext infrastructure mismatch")… evidently a bug that can be reproduced on a straight AMD64 system so possibly not a cross-compile bug per-se. I think someone who knows more about those two packages than me could probably solve it. I did have a crack at musl, didn't seem to get past first base with `crossdev`. Ultimately that might be the answer though, because let's face it, even the Yeeloong doesn't have oodles of RAM and it's not like backward ABI compatibility with proprietary glibc-linked applications is a concern on MIPS. Regards, -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
