What > bug is that? Do you state you are able to build glibc 2.2 for MIPS/Linux using binutils 2.9 or 2.8 or earlier??? Even 2.10 (2.10.1) doesn't work as released, AFAIK, mostly due to unfinished versioning support for MIPS. There are other, less significant problems as well, IIRC. Relevant patches got applied in the 2.10.90 development cycle, AFAIK. -- + Maciej W.
