Sympthom are compiler core dumps. Newer doesn't harm ... Yes, I saw that in the kernel docs but I tried it anyway since that's the version used in the FAQ. I ended up getting another error though, and upgrading to gcc 2.95.3 (couldn't find .4) didn't help: /usr/mips-linux/bin/as: unrecognized option `-mcpu=r3000' I saw that this option was removed a while back, so I guess downgrading the binutils is the only way to go (or upgrading gcc, but I got a ton of errors compiling 3.3.2 so I guess that doesn't work...) I'll try an older version of the binutils and see if that fixes it. Thanks for your help! Cheers, Adam.
