If 2.95 is too old for him, where should he(and I) get the latest stable packages. It seems like the MIPS environment is varied and there are toolchains for various processors in different locations. Is the toolchain and binutils for 4k/5k processors on the linux-mips.org ftp site? Is the correct gcc 3.2.xx? Will it build 2.4.2x that is in linux-mips cvs? Will it build 2.6? Will it build 64bit kernels? It would be nice if someone in the know could create a chart or add the info to readme or howto on linux-mips.org site. Thanks for sharing what you know.
