Oh ok then - so what should I do to actually compile a MIPS kernel? I'd rather not have to download an entirely separate kernel source, so should I just go back to gcc-3.1.1 that supports -mcpu? Will kernel 2.6.1 or whatever's next work properly in this respect? I realise that there are plenty of valid reasons for removing -mcpu, but it does create a big headache for us users, who just want the darn thing to 'go' ;-) > You'll also want to pass something like this: > make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips-unknown-linux-gnu- <target> Oh ok - yes, I sort of guessed how to do this as it wasn't written anywhere, and I used "mips-linux" for everything so all should be well there. At any rate, I think I'll have to call it a day - it's way too much of a hassle just to get a working MIPS cross-compiler, and with all the hoops you have to jump through I haven't got any patience left :-( Thanks for all your help everyone, Adam.
