mips64el-none-linux-gnu as the host
Product: binutils

Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: P1
Component: binutils

Host: mips64el-*-linux-*
Target: mips64el-*-linux-*
Build: seemingly all amd64
hi,
please see bug https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22302 22302
here. this is an important issue that needs to be fixed.
it has to do with compiling glibc using the mips64el as a host, to target (in
my case) mipsel-none-linux-gnu and/or mips64el-linux-gnuabi.
this issue has been present for a few years, and i would appreciate it be
resolved before gcc 10 is released.
i am tired of having to set glibc's configure to 'mips64el-none-linux-gnu' when
these libraries are being hosted on 'mipsel-none-linux-gnu' platforms. the only
reason this works is because of the great interoperability between the 32 bit
and 64 bit modes of mips, but it creates a nuisance when using other software
that are linked against a glibc with target 'mipsel-none-linux-gnu' as the
target mismatch in the header requires the latter libraries to also be
downloaded even though they have roughly the same file size.
