Re: BE Toolchain

[Marc Karasek <marc_karasek@ivivity.com>]

I have one question:  I did not know that RH had a MIPS dist for 7.1. 
Is this something MIPS has done from the RH sources?  Or is RH planning
on supporting MIPS now?

We are using the compiler from the RedHat 7.1/MIPS Linux distribution.
