Hi,

I am a bit new to Linux MIPS but I would really appreciate a few pointers.

1. I am getting GCC 3.3.2, binutils-2.14..... and GLIB-2.3.2 off of
Kernel.org.  Is there a source of patches for these to make a clean MIPS64
and N32 build?
2. Are there any ioctl() examples for displaying and modifying processor
registers from user programs?

Thanks
Toshio

None of those three components supports N32 userspace applications. 
Binutils 2.14 is pretty close.  GCC 3.3.2 won't even configure for
mips64-linux.

You have to use the bleeding edge tools if you want to build a mips64
userland.
