OTOH, a 64bit Kernel has certainly some hack value. :-) > Is there a working binutils for 64 bit code floating > around somewhere or should I stick with the mips32 stuff? Using 32bit is surely the easier way to go. You might try the toolchain I use for my mips64-linux development. Be warned: It's barely good enough to compile a linux kernel, no pic code and therefore no libc. You have to compile it yourself, the source is available at http://www.csv.ica.uni-stuttgart.de/homes/ths/linux-mips/ Have fun. :-) Thiemo
