Re: mipsel-linux cross compiler issue while installing

[Marc Karasek <marc_karasek@ivivity.com>]

As long as you just want to do LE, I would recommend the package from
Monta Vista.  It is there journeyman distrobution.  It has both a
cross-compiler for LE along with there released 2.4.2 kernel.  They went
thru a long process to validate this kernel, and have incorporated/fixed
many bugs that were outstanding.  This delayed the release of this port
by about 3 months.  Just my 2 cents......
