Not sure if this will help any, but this configuration helped me build a sparc -> mips cross compiler using glibc 2.3.2, gcc 3.2.2, and binutils 2.13.90.0.16. Works fine so far, I've built kernels with it and had no issues yet. Although, I do not claim to be an expert in the field of cross-compiling -- it seems to be almost an artform.

Hi
I want to install a cross-compiler for MIPS(R5432 CPU) on an i686 host.
Since R4000 is compatible with R5432, I am using "mips3" as the target.
binutils-2.13 and I phase compilation of gcc-3.2 happened without any
problems. But, glibc-2.2.5 is giving many compilation problems. This is
how I configured glibc:
configure --build=i686-linux --host=mips3el-linux --enable-add-ons
--prefix=/usr.
Could someone guide me on this or give me some pointers for installation?
Is the target option "mips3" the right choice for R5432?
Thank you in advance.
regards
Madhavi.
