Newbie questions

[Scott Miller]

Hi.

I'm trying to build a MIPS kernel (2.4) and I'm stuck.

I'm using the MIPS SDE-lite installed on a linux box, but I don't think 
I have it configured properly.  (I have to define things like 
-D_MIPS_SZLONG in CPPFLAGS to get it to compile.)

I've gotten it all to compile, but it fails to link at the end with 
undefined reference to handle_reserved, handle_watch, handle_adel, etc.
I assume these are intrinsics in the MIPS libraries, but I can't find them.

Is there a missing step in my configuration, or am I using the wrong tools?

You must use a compiler targeted for mips(el)-linux.
