I'm just doing the same ;) Please Francois, I'm trying to help you. Stop doing what this crazy tutorial says. The target should be something like --target=mipsel-linux, and the host should not be there. If you do put the host there, it should be in the form --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu. Your complete configure line will look something like ./gccmaincvs/gcc/configure --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu \ --target=mipsel-linux --with-headers=/home/test35/mipsel-linux/include \ --with-arch=mips32 --with-float=soft --prefix=/home/test35 \ --enable-languages=c,c++,java Andrew.
