	@item
	Cross-compilers for the Mips as target using the Mips assembler
	currently do not work, because the auxiliary programs
	@file{mips-tdump.c} and @file{mips-tfile.c} can't be compiled on
	anything but a Mips.  It does work to cross compile for a Mips
	if you use the GNU assembler and linker.


When you configure, add '--with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld ' to your command
line.
