| [re cross-compiling GCC for Mips, doc says]
|
| * Cross-compilers for the Mips as target do not work because the
| auxiliary programs `mips-tdump.c' and `mips-tfile.c' can't be
| compiled on anything but a Mips.


The current release of GCC (2.4.5) does support building a cross
compiler for the MIPS, provided you configure it --with-gnu-as and
--with-gnu-ld. You have to also get the current released versions of
the GNU assembler (2.1.1) and GNU binutils (2.2.1) which provide MIPS
support. When gcc is configured for using the GNU assembler, it does
not use nor build the mips-tfile and mips-tdump programs.
