If you look in the 'arch/mips/config.in' file you will find: if [ "$CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN" = "n" ]; then bool 'Include IRIX binary compatibility' CONFIG_BINFMT_IRIX bool 'Include forward keyboard' CONFIG_FORWARD_KEYBOARD fi at around line #522. You have to be a big endian machine since IRIX is itself a big endian operating system. This option is under the menu 'General setup'. -S
