Great. Thanks :) I plan to build mips32 stages, but I don't really know much about this type of hardware. As you guessed, I'm more interested in 64-bit systems. Are there big-endian mips32 systems worth supporting? My little-endian userland seems to be dead and I've been building these big endian stages, so I haven't had time to revive it yet. If you would, please join the #gentoo-mips IRC channel. :) Matt
