I just checked the latest sources out of cvs. It look like you are only able to compile the kernel, if you got a MIPS32/MIPS64 compliant compiler. The mips32 and mips64 assembler directives are set in include/asm-mips/mipsregs.h I guess this will make some people out there, which doesn't use a MIPS32 compliant compiler, a little bit unhappy. But then again, we would like to force everybody to use the SDE compiler. /Carsten -- _ _ ____ ___ Carsten Langgaard Mailto:carstenl@mips.com |\ /|||___)(___ MIPS Denmark Direct: +45 4486 5527 | \/ ||| ____) Lautrupvang 4B Switch: +45 4486 5555 TECHNOLOGIES 2750 Ballerup Fax...: +45 4486 5556 Denmark http://www.mips.com
