I built a mips-linix 2.4.18 kernel for an AU1500 board using: gcc-3.2 / binutils-2.13 / glibc-2.2.5 It builds and executes but is unsuccessful during startup. I have attached the log at the end of this message. It appears to have skipped a number of steps. I noticed that a working kernel built with gcc 2.95.3 is 800K larger. (~3MB versus !2.2MB). I'm a little confused, and wondered if the 3.2 compiler requires some patching to work for mips-linux. Any advice would be appreciated.
