Hi,
I'm really confused by mips targets, such as mips-elf, mips-linux,
mips-elf-linux, mips-elf-linux-gnu. I will appreciate if anyone can
tell me the difference between them.

The last two don't exist.

Except I think they may be accepted as synonyms for mips-linux and mips-linux-gnu, as the second part of the 'triplet' is often either omitted or ignored. I, of course, have verified none of this.

The first one is to target an elf-based embedded system. The second is for a mips-linux (mips-linux-gnu) box.
