Re: Problem of cross-mipsel-compiler GLIBC-2.3.X

[Kumba <kumba@gentoo.org>]

	I'm not quite sure.  I don't see how trying it could hurt, maybe it 
will work, maybe it won't.  Although, 2.14.90.0.1 was just released as 
well, you might try that, or even CVS Head, as I heard that includes 
last-minute mips fixes.  I'm fairly new to the whole cross-compiler 
thing myself, and recently discovered the HOWTO mentioned in your 
previous mail, which I'm looking at to try and get an i686->mips 
cross-compiler going.  For now though, my sparc->mips cross-compiler 
works, so it's what I'll rely on the most.
