I exchanged a couple of mails with Thiemo Seufer who tried to help solve
this problem. It appears that include/asm-mips/reg.h is automatically
generated at compile time, by the arch/mips/Makefile (prepare target).
(I use a 2.6.x kernel).

In fact, I'm trying to generate a cross-compilation chain for MIPS
(using Dan Kegel's crosstools). So, I need the kernel headers, but I'm
not able to compile the kernel since I'm generating the cross-compiler
itself.

When I try to generate the 'prepare' target in the main directory of
the kernel source tree, it starts compiling files in scripts/ using the
MIPS compiler (which isn't available at this time).

How can I generate this include/asm-mips/reg.h file (and possibly other
automatically generated includes) without starting kernel compilation ?
Of course, I provide a .config file to the kernel.

Thanks,

Thomas
