Description Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-20 12:38:35 UTC
For cross-compiling a kernel from mips-linux.org, it looks like the default CROSS_COMPILE prefix will be 'mipsel-linux-' - Which is fine (I think I can specify crossdev --target mipsel-linux without any problems)

Except that this forces me to use glibc.  I would like to use uclibc, but then the target name has to end in -uclibc which won't jive with mips-linux.org.

I suggest that there should be another cmdline switch to pick between glibc and uclibc (and whatever other libcs there are out there) which doesn't depend on the name of the target.

This seems to work. (lightly tested)

no, the name must contain '-uclibc'
