http://www.pmc-sierra.com/xiaohu/ has a Reference Software
download that includes patched kernel source and a copy
of crosstool!
Their build.tools script makes a few mods to crosstool,
in particular, they mentions something about GOT overflow:
# Set the target name to mipsel-linux
# Building large binaries fails with 'relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_GOT16'.
# We need to prepare builds to use the -xgot assembler flag, so we add -Wa,-xgot
[ -f ${ARCH}.dat.orig ] || mv ${ARCH}.dat ${ARCH}.dat.orig
sed -e "/^TARGET=/s,TARGET=${ARCH}-unknown-linux-gnu,TARGET=${TARGET},g" \
-e "/^TARGET_CFLAGS=/s,TARGET_CFLAGS=\",TARGET_CFLAGS=\"-Wa\,-xgot ,g" \
<${ARCH}.dat.orig >${ARCH}.dat
(Hmm. I'm not sure that will have any effect, unless they were dying
with that error while building glibc...)
Another message that mentions this GOT overflow problem is
http://www.spinics.net/lists/mips/msg16790.html
I haven't run into this problem myself, but maybe I will before long.
