Hi,
I am trying to compile a toolchain for a Broadcom SB1
processor in big-endian mode with a host Operating
System of Linux. (The SB1 is a MIPS64, but there is
also a specific SB1 target.) So far, I'm running into
error after error when attempting to build either
directly on the board or attempting to build a
cross-compiler (with a host of a Pentium 4 also
running Linux). I've run through the various FAQs,
HOWTOs and automated scripts, but they either don't do
the combination I want or they won't work with the
combination I want.
A query on the MIPS mailing list produced a depressing
result - one reply, saying they weren't sure it could
even be done.
The various Linux distros for MIPS architectures were
not a whole lot better - the most recent were 32-bit
and even those weren't that recent. The newest MIPS64
binary of GCC I could find was back in the 2.95 era.
My question is simple enough - has anyone built a
toolchain for a MIPS64-Linux-GNU target? I noticed
someone posting recently that they'd conquered this
problem for MIPS64 under the IRIX OS, so I'm guessing
it must be possible under Linux.
I would prefer a recipe to build the toolchain myself
from source, but if you happen to know of a site with
binaries for the SB1 under Linux, I wouldn't be
horribly opposed.
