I had to patch va-mips.h to #include <asm/sgidefs.h> rather than <sgidefs.h>. The current errors are: - warnings about struct flock64 not being declared (it's defined in asm-mips64/fcntl.h but not asm-mips/fcntl.h) - compilation stops because loops_per_sec is undeclared as far as asm-mips/delay.h is concerned (although it seems fine in asm-mips64/delay.h). This seems to imply that the mips architecture (as opposed to mips64) isn't being maintained. Is this the case? Should I be using mips64 - but what would be the point on an embedded CPU?
