I've been trying to get a 64 bit compiler working for a 5kc/5kf core, searching the net for info, and following this list for the last couple of weeks. I have not been able to get some basic questions answered and I hope that some of you can help me. First what is the current status of mips 5k 64bit little-endian support for gcc? Do I have to use 2.95/2.96? I don't think there is a linux binary but if you know of one I'd love the link. I have been unsuccessful getting this built. On the web, there is a howto to build a mipsel gcc 3.2. Does 3.2 support 64 bit mips? Has anyone gotten it to work? Also linux. From my understanding, kernel 2.4.20 has the latest patches for mips32 and mips64. Is that a valid codebase? It seems that some info in the howto regarding building a compiler with egcs on linux-mips.org is somewhat dated, is that true? I really appreciate any guidance. I've been trying to follow the instructions that are out there but I keep running into problems. For example, as I try to build gcc 3.2 for mips64el, I can't come up with a correct include directory. Does anyone have one? Very, very appreciatively yours, David Kesselring Atmel MMC dkesselr@mmc.atmel.com 919-462-6587
