I thought it was missing (for example) the syscalls, and generally needed work to be ported to Linux. I'm interested in helping with this, if people are already doing it. *BSD libc has been suggested by a few people. BTW, MIPS32 is not a synonym for 32-bit MIPS architecture. :-( This appears to be the fault of marketing people. Quoting http://www.mips.com/products/s2p5.html : --- The MIPS32T architecture is a superset of the previous MIPS IT and MIPS IIT Instruction Set Architectures (ISA) and incorporates powerful new instructions specifically for embedded applications, as well as proven memory management and privileged mode control mechanisms previously found only in 64-bit R4000® and R5000® MIPS® processors. --- It's got conditional move, multiply/add, count leading ones/zeroes, and some other stuff. I don't know of any shipping PDAs using MIPS32 chips.
