RE: linux-2.6.8 MIPS cross compile and cygwin

["Kyle Unice" <unixe at comcast dot net>]

After much help from Dan K. and Matej I got the toolchain working.? When I
build linux (under the crosstools/build directory with the patched
linux-2.6.8 sourceI get the following.? 
$ !make
make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips-unknown-linux-gnu- vmlinux

I commented out the _asm for now and moved on then got this:

I think I am missing a fundamental step in using linux for mips.. perhaps a
set of patches that should be applied before building linux...?  thx,

One other question:
If one wishes to add linux-2.6.13 ( or whatever is the current build of
linux ) to the crosstool build, is this a guru only type of effort or can we
copy the patches say from linux-2.6.11.3 and try them with 2.6.13?
