For the mips architecture, it seems like arch/mips/lib/lib.a is linked in and not lib/lib.a. For example on menuconfig when zlib* is selected, it is not included in the final link. Is my understanding correct? Specifically, 2.4.23 has a firmware library (from lib/) that I would like to use with a driver but regardless of my .config it is not being linked. Thanks for your help.
