It seems like a shame to simply give up and not compile this at all.
Is there no way to correctly cross compile this for MIPS?
Yeah seriously, we should try to make this work instead of throwing our
hands in the air.
We cross compile things successfully all the time for all the various
MIPS ABIs.
It is a simple matter of having the Makefile setup for cross compiling.
What I don't understand is why we are using hostprogs in this Makefile.
Isn't this a program that would run on the target, not the build host?
