24 I think it's mipsel-linux-gnu (should be set on the tarball - read the README
25 on the tarball directory) and add -mhard-float or -msoft-flloat to CFLAGS and
26 CXXFLAGS. I don't know if any mips that can run Linux don't have FPU but you
27 don't care if it's disabled in the tarball cause you're going to rebuild it
28 during the install.
