building a crosscompiler to generate mips32 code

["H Girard" <hgirard at broadbandnetdevices dot com>]

Hi All

I am trying to build a cross compiler to generate mips32 code from a cygwin
environment running on windows nt 4.0 .

I downloaded the gcc version 3.03 and could not get configure to generate a
target=mipsisa32-elf

displayed on cygwin window:

Administrateur@AMDK6_2_400 /m/cygwin/gcc303/buildgcc303
$ ../gcc-3.0.3/configure --target=mipsisa32-elf
Configuring for a i586-pc-cygwin host.
Invalid configuration `mipsisa32-elf': machine `mipsisa32' not recognized
Unrecognized target system name mipsisa32-elf.


there where patches published in sept to include the mips32 support and
several others after to fix bugs .

1-    which version of gcc will have the patches  builtin ?
2-    if i apply the patche(s) to a given version of gcc , which version
should be selected to apply the patche(s)

thank you for any help

extract from a post in sept describing one patch that seems of interest:

Here are the patches to implement mips32 and mips64 support in gcc. The
ChangeLog entry up top I believe fixes the problem that Bernd was having
in the mips port where his patch broke irix. It's been in these sources
so long I'd forgotten about it and will just check it in since pulling
it out would be a bit more trouble. Since this is so large I'd
appreciate some comments though. If I don't hear anything in the next
day or so I'll go check it in :)
