Hello all,

My question is somehow related on the problems showed in this email. Sorry if this
will bother you.
I am trying to setup a cross toolchain for mips and  I have to use binutils 2.10
and gcc 2.95.2 and glibc2.1.3. Currently I am trying to setup binutils 2.10 with
egcs1.0.3a and with glibc.2.0.6 . Do you have any patches for binutils 2.10 or for
gcc2.95.2 for mips ? If you have and if you have some ideeas please tell me ..

Thank You
Nicu
