Someone "helpfully" added a mis-feature to the linker for MIPS that says the architectures have to match - mips1 and mips2 can be linked together, and mips3 and mips4, but not other combinations. This is IMHO complete nonsense in an architecture where the binary code is upwards compatible. I'm not sure exactly when this got added, but it was somewhere in between 2.6 (my old version, where it did not complain) and 2.9.1, which I use now. Luckily I still have the old ld program around, and I use it whenever I have to explicitly mix architectures. I certainly have no problem with warning about such a mismatch, but there's a big difference between a warning and an error that halts the link process. You might try to modify the file elf32-mips.c where the error is emitted at line 2054 (this is in bfd). Try commenting out the line "ok = false;" which should have the effect of it just being a warning. I haven't tried this yet, but would really like to know if it works for you. -Ken, still feeling bitchy about this one. Kenneth F.
