No. You must use a Linux configuration of the tools, that's mips-linux. > Also do let me know if Cygwin over Win98 dev. environment is good for > building & developing with Linux-MIPS or do I need to have Linux installed > on my dev. machine? I've never use Cygwin myself. The reports I've received are a mixed bag ranging from extremly bad to very good. Ralf
