Description Markos Chandras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-08-27 15:55:00 UTC 
Hi,

Please consider revbumping libtool with the patch from 

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libtool.git/commit/?id=5f7f7d9615bf650cf99d581a33b3e18357f79951
"libtool: set correct linker ABI flags on mips64 linux."

This allows libtool to select the correct emulation for the linker based on the produced MIPS ABI. This will likely fix linking problem when 'ld' is used directly by the build system to link the object files produced for the N64 ABI otherwise the default one (emulation for n32) is used and breaks linking.

Ping.

The patch is in 2.4.2.418, if we'd like to add some newer version to the tree.

i requested this patch for 2.4.3 and they cherry picked it for that release
