I found out what was breaking the compile : I was setting -mcpu=r4600 -mips2. If I leave this off everything compiles OK, but now the code isn't optimized for the processor and does run slower ( of course). I also noted that if I use : -mcpu=r4000 -mips2 I get the error : /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cca007591.o: ISA mismatch (-mips3) with previous modules (-mips1) /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cca007591.o: uses different e_flags (0x102) fields than previous modules (0x2) Bad value: failed to merge target specific data of file /tmp/cca007591.o collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Which I totally don't understand because I never set mips3 I set mips2. I am coming to the conclusion that : the egcs-1.03a compiler as found on the sgi web site only supports mips 1. Can someone confirm or deny this ? If that is so, how does anyone compile native mips2 code ? You have to build your own compiler / libraries ? If anyone has / knows of an egcs-1.03a or higher compiler capapble of compiling mips2 I'd really like to hear from them. TIA Wayne __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
