Problems with creating bootstrap headers for MIPS toolchain...

[TheNop]

Hi Steven,

I do not currently use crosstools to build the mips cross tool chain, 
but I had the same problems with the abi.
I use glibc-2.3.4.20041102, gcc-3.4.1, kernel-2.6.8.1. For the abi 
problem I create a patch. I used it only for building the glibc headers.
Give it a try.
