Is this something known? None of the other MIPS > kernel defconfigs is encountering this issue. I have not used this GCC/binutils combination yet. But I have had success with the code sourcery toolchain (needs minor patch to add -march=xlr cflags): gcc version 4.5.2 (Sourcery G++ Lite 2011.03-53) GNU ld (Sourcery G++ Lite 2011.03-53) 2.20.51.20100809 JC.
