How to build the glibc for MIPS?

How to build the glibc for MIPS?

[Neo]

hi,

I have successfully built the cross toolchain excluding glibc following 
the steps of www.linux-mips.org. Now, I am wondering how to build the 
glibc for MIPS. The websites provided by linux-mips are not accessible 
any more or they cannot be built successfully.

Thanks,
Neo

probably today we haven't the technology we are using!

Are you refering to the instructions in the old MIPS-HOWTO document?
I've asked LDP to remove it because it was so obsolete.  Building glibc
has fortunately become much easier these days; it's mostly a question of
getting the build environment right.

Hello to all,
is it possible to get quick howto for building glibc?
