Here are something you should know: 1. The cross compiler hosted on RedHat 7.1/ia32 is provided as a toolchain rpm. The binary rpms for the mips and mipsel cross compilers are included. You may need glibc 2.2.3-11 or above to use those rpms. The glibc x86 binary rpms under RPMS/i386 should be ok. 2. You have to find a way to put those rpms on your machine. I use network boot and NFS root to do it. 3. install.tar.bz2 has some scripts to prepare NFS root and install RedHat 7.1 on a hard drive. 4. baseline.tar.bz2 contains the cross build tree. 5. Since everything is cross compiled from x86, which is little endian, many data files for mips, which is big endian, are either missing or wrong. To get those data files for mips, you have to rebuild/install the folowing rpms: cracklib glibc natively on Linux/mips. Thanks. H.J.
