I think standard 5.0 will support the mipsel-linux-elf target also (but something later is better). As for gdbserver... yes, you'll be out of luck... that's why I have to hand build (cross compile) it (pending getting the config stuff sorted out). > $ ../../configure --target=mips-linux-elf --host=mips-linux-elf > *** ./configure.in has no "per-host:" line. > *** Hmm, looks like this directory has been autoconfiscated. > *** Running the local configure script. > loading cache config.cache > checking host system type... mips-linux-elf > checking target system type... mips-linux-elf > checking build system type... mips-linux-elf > checking for a BSD compatible install...

It's actually a tar bundle that we include on one of our CDs. I think it's a gdb snapshot dating from around August or September last year. I'll see if I can dig out some more info and let you know. Or you could try the latest snapshots, I haven't tried them, but they're probably OK. > > > Yesterday I got gdbserver working correctly on my target (over IP or > > serial).
