Ralf, are you or anybody else using that combination for mips?

With which versions of glibc and glibc-linuxthreads?

I have been having a joyous time trying to build more recent tools.
I keep getting errors like the following when building glibc of any 
version (tried from 2.3.6 through 2.7):
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/waitid.c:51: error: memory input 6 is not 
directly addressable

I found a patch for that 
(http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2005-04/msg00208.html), but, after 
passing that file, it fails similarly on pread.c. It seems to be an 
issue with INLINE_SYSCALL, rather than the call sites, that appears to 
be related to later versions of gcc.

Later versions of glibc (2.7, 2.6...) fail at configure time with the 
error: "The mipsel is not supported."


So, what are the lastest versions of the build tools that people are 
using on mips?

Thanks
