Ok, there are several serious problems with what you are trying to do... |

Actually, it isn't identical, but that doesn't really matter... |

Ok, stop right here. Do you realize how little memory this device has? |
| 15 |
You would be lucky to even be able to build some of the more simple |
| 16 |
programs without some sort of ICE or out of memory error. |

| 22 |
You would really want -march=mips32 anyway. |

That is not even close to the correct profile for uclibc. You really |
| 31 |
want /usr/portage/profiles/uclibc/mips |
| 32 |

You'll be extremely lucky if this ever works on that device...again, not |
| 36 |
enough memory. |

This is probably telling that you have some serious issues... |

Uhhh...you realize you can't install glibc on a uclibc userland, right? |
| 55 |
This is from selecting the wrong profile, aside from the fact that |
| 56 |
glibc even doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of building on such a |
| 57 |
device. |

|
| 64 |
That is an even worse idea. The cobalt stages are optimized for |
| 65 |
-march=mips4, which probably won't run on that cpu. Not only that, but |
| 66 |
they are glibc based, which is way too heavy to run on a wl500g |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
The moral of this story is, a broadcom based router is not good for |
| 69 |
using gentoo in the capacity you are trying to. What you *really* want |
| 70 |
to do is emerge crossdev on a nice fast box, use that to build a |
| 71 |
crosstoolchain, and cross-compile a custom userland to run on your router. |
