Kernel build on Irix w/gcc-fw, Irix as/ld?

Kernel build on Irix w/gcc-fw, Irix as/ld?

[Erik J. Green]

Hi all;

Has anyone successfully built a kernel under Irix, using the freeware GCC and
the standard Irix as/ld tools?  Just wondering off the top of my head, I would
think the Irix tools would have less bugs for 64 bit code than the current
binutils are reputed to have.  I have a set of licensed compilers coming for
another project so I could possibly use those too.

Just curious,

Erik

Use gcc and binutils in a Linux/MIPS configuration or give up.

Not if you don't spend a few moons into hacking the code.
