A few answers: a) -march=4kc for mainline gcc. there's an old dfa description for that processor (not in the codebase, but I can be convinced to make it available - I'm not as happy with it as with others) and hey, if the option exists might as well use it. b) IMO gcc.gnu.org for the gcc sources. sources.redhat.com for the binutils sources. these will build 64bit kernels afaik. i've only tested on an sb1250 and that is using the kernel sources from broadcom. -eric -- Eric Christopher <echristo@redhat.com>
