For 3.4 and 3.2 kernels to build with binutils v2.24, it would be necessary to
apply patch c02263063362 ("MIPS: Refactor 'clear_page' and 'copy_page' functions").
It applies cleanly to 3.4, but has a Makefile conflict in 3.2. It might
make sense to apply this patch to both releases. Would this be possible ?
This way, we would have at least one toolchain which can build all 3.2+ kernels.

I'm finally queueing this up for 3.2.

Ben.


mipsel images in 3.2.y-queue are now crashing for me. Should I have a look ?

Turns out the culprit is qemu. I had switched from qemu 2.9 to qemu 2.10.
Something has changed in qemu that causes a qemu boot failure with 3.2 mipsel
(but not in more recent kernels). I'll switch back to qemu 2.9 for the affected
builds.
