[Fwd: Re: MIPS64 Toolchain]

[Dan Kegel <dank at kegel dot com>]

Here's a little note about MIPS64 status.

BTW I already have the patch Jim mentions,
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/glibc/glibc-2.3.5-mips_syscall-1.patch
in crostool as glibc-2.3.[45]/pr758.patch.

So there you have it - glibc-2.3.5 is supposed to work for mips64.
Guess I should add it to the build matrix.

No, but I'm trying to get the basics from Daniel so I can test for him.

There is only one patch required for MIPS64 builds.
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/glibc/glibc-2.3.5-mips_syscall-1.patch

Sure no problem. I'm part of the same group as Ryan Oliver. He's the one
who mastered the build method we are using for cross-lfs. I'm the
tweaker of the group.
