Alas, there was unfortunately a previous chapter to my story. Before posting this message, I had tried to run "../gcc-4.8.2/configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-nls --enable-languages=c,c++" instead, but I was just getting a very similar error[1]. I asked in the IRC channel on Freenode, and someone there suggested that I add "mips-unknown-linux-gnu" to the configure line. He said it may have had to do with my "uname -a" being "broken"; it currently outputs "Linux marielle 3.5.3-gnu #1 PREEMPT Tue Aug 28 10:49:41 UTC 2012 mips64 GNU/Linux". Not sure if there's something wrong with that. > Ok, you can check what the configury system would tell your system > being via running : > > ./config.guess > > in the main gcc-4.8.2 source directory. Oddly enough, if I run that script, I do get "mips64el-unknown-linux-gnu", so very confused as to what the issue is here. [1]: http://sprunge.us/DDgM -- Harry Prevor
