You don't need a special 'cross-compiler' glibc in order to set up a cross-build environment for MIPS; simply grab a glibc package that's precompiled for MIPS and install it into your cross-build root directory. I don't know who (if anyone) would have rpms for a recent mips glibc; I use Debian, where I have the packages available as part of the distro. Regards, Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
