when following the gentoo build instructions on mips (Octane) I get this... ld: cannot open linker script file ldscripts/elf64btsmip.xr: No such file or directory. I can see this file in /usr/lib/binutils/mips-unknown-linux-gnu/2.16.1/ldscripts/ but I can't find any mention of a mips64 variant of binutils, even though I've emerged kgcc64 too. Reproducible: Always
Please post emerge --info Also, see: http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-mips%40lists.gentoo.org/msg00270.html

Doing the symlink is the mail-archive article gets past the build problem, so I'll report back on building my 2.6.17.10 kernel and see if it boots next.

Not much info out there. Perhaps the #gentoo-mips guys on IRC have experience with this?
Yes, now I have a working kernel.

[18:55] <hardave> `K-[AFK]: bug #171486 [18:55] <jeeves> hardave: https://bugs.gentoo.org/171486 nor, P2, MIPS, alanh@fairlite.demon.co.uk->mips@gentoo.org, NEW, pending, mips-sources fails to find ldscripts/elf64btsmip.xr [18:56] <hardave> `K-[AFK]: It's due to ldscripts being symlinked into /usr/$HOST/bin instead of /usr/$HOST/lib
looks like i broke that by accident when doing the bin/lib cleanup with /usr/$CTARGET/ -> /usr/$CHOST/$CTARGET/ the places you want the symlink are: [native] /usr/$CHOST/lib/ldscripts [cross] /usr/$CHOST/$CTARGET/lib/ldscripts committed with binutils-config-1.9-r4
still happens here with binutils-config-1.9-r4
actually, i'd of expected binutils-config to re-run the current selected binutils to force the symlinks to get regenerated. That's not the case and you have to re-run binutils-config yourself - manually. Closing as fixed again.
This bug is still there when compiling an avr toochain with crossdev. When compiling it does not find ldscripts in /usr/$CHOST/$CTARGET/lib/ldscripts and binutils-config deletes it from /usr/$CTARGET/lib. Creating a link from /usr/$CHOST/$CTARGET/lib/ldscripts -> /usr/$CTARGET/lib makes everything work correctly but reruning binutils-config deletes it.
