Hi, I'm a linux kernel newbie, and this is my first linux-mips posting. I have built a big endian, elf, cross toolchain for mips32 (I'm using an Alchemy Au1500 SOC) based on the GCC 3.0.4, Binutils 2.11.2 and Newlib 1.9.0. My intention is to now use it to compile the 2.4.19 kernel. I am still figuring out how to cross compile the kernel, but I was wondering if I had used the correct versions of GCC and Binutils to succesfully build a stable kernel. Also, are there any patches I would need? So far I've used the stock distributions from gnu.org. Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks, Lyle Bainbridge Minneapolis, MN
