You should upgrade to something newer than 2.13. :-) > as -EB -G 0 -mips4 -O2 -g0 -64 -mcpu=r8000 -v -64 -non_shared -64 -march=r8000 -mips4 --trap -o kernel/.tmp_fork.o Note that those arguments are partially contradicting each other. -mips4 -64 -mcpu=r8000 -64 -64 -march=r8000 -mips4 is (with 2.15 gas) better expressed as -mabi=64 -march=mips4 or, more suitable for r10000, with -mabi=64 -march=r10000 Thiemo
