Gave a shot at building a 2.6.7-bk13 kernel checkout (20040707) for SGI 
O2 w/ gcc-3.4.1.  Didn't get very far...

First was the old "accum" issue visited back in April[1].  Maciej posted 
a patch to 2.4, which I used to generate a similar patch for 2.6. 
arch/mips/kernel/time.c needed the same four removals of accum as the 
2.4 patch did, but there was one instance of "accum" in 
arch/mips/kernel/cpu-bugs64.c (which seems to be the one accum Maciej's 
2.4 patch removed from cpu-probe.c).  The attached patch removes these 
as per the discussion in April.

Following that, the build, while filled with a gazillion warnings about 
passing different var types to functions, built fine.  The resulting 
kernel even booted -- a little.  The second attached file has the Oops, 
which happens right after "Checking for the daddiu bug... no.".

Ideas on this, anyone?  I haven't tried this on a raq2/mipsel yet, but I 
can if needed
