My guess, going by Matthew's description of the XLR, may be related to one of the fields storing "mips4" as the -march, and the other field storing "r10000". I haven't looked at the ELF sections yet, though, to verify that. Since I am not seeing this on the other platforms (IP27, IP30, & IP32), I'm guessing it's possibly something in the arch/mips/Makefile then? At least it's harmless, but it does clutter the screen up with a ton of warnings. -- Joshua Kinard Gentoo/MIPS kumba@xxxxxxxxxx 6144R/F5C6C943 2015-04-27 177C 1972 1FB8 F254 BAD0 3E72 5C63 F4E3 F5C6 C943 "The past tempts us, the present confuses us, the future frightens us.
