I would like to build latest kernel (ie kernel 2.6.13) for mips malta

used for building the linux kernel.
I use both gcc-3.3.1 and gcc-3.4.3 to build 2.6.x mips linux kernels. I
think for the 2.6.13 kernel any of the latest released versions of
3.3.x, 3.4.x, or 4.0.x would work. Use the latest binutils (2.16.91
20050817 is what I am using).
Also, make sure to NOT use any of the 4.1 GCC stuff with Linux/MIPS
kernels. I am still tracking down errors with it.
Is this the problem you are seeing?:
In file included from include/linux/nfs_fs.h:15,
from init/do_mounts.c:12:
include/linux/pagemap.h: In function ‘fault_in_pages_readable’:

The compiler behavior has changed since 4.0.1, but I think the new
behavior is correct. I am blaming the __get_user macro in
include/asm-mips/uaccess.h. It should be possible to fix it there. The
alternative is to hack up include/linux/pagemap.h.
