[ trouble building MIPS gcc on Linux pc]

[Dara Hazeghi]

Hello,

building a cross compiler is a relatively involved
process. For an overview, see the CrossGCC FAQ (a bit
outdated, but still pretty good):
<http://www.sthoward.com/CrossGCC/FAQ-4.html#ss4.2>.

For your problem, you need to download and install
cross binutils (configuring with
--target=mips-linux-gnu should be good enough).

However, to build gcc you'll need mips-linux libraries
and headers. You'll either need to extrac them from an
existing installation, or build them as part of the
process. Simpler approach is using prebuilt ones. See
<http://bytesex.org/cross-compiler.html> for an
example of how. If you actually want to build
everything from scratch, Dan Kegel's crosstool is
likely to help considerably

Also, you may want to address future questions to the
crossgcc mailing list: crossgcc@sources.redhat.com
(see <http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc>).

Cheers,

Dara
