The problem is that it doesnt build without the patch:
mipsel-linux-gcc -I /home/mnt/mips/dec/linux/include/asm/gcc
-D__KERNEL__ -I/home/mnt/mips/dec/linux/include -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
-fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -G 0 -mno-abicalls -fno-pic -mcpu=r4600
-mips2 -Wa,--trap -pipe -DEXPORT_SYMTAB -c setup.c
Assembler messages:
Warning: The -mcpu option is deprecated. Please use -march and -mtune
instead.
Warning: The -march option is incompatible to -mipsN and therefore
ignored.
