All are built with gcc-5.3.0 against glibc-2.23-r2. Additional information is available in the README.2016 and README files. I am also in the process of building MIPS-II stages for O32/uClibc as well, which will likely be based on a 20160531 snapshot (assuming no bugs). Note: These are the "old" ISAs, commonly used on SGI systems. Those running the "MIPS32" (R2 through R6) ISA can use the MIPS-II/O32 stage3 as a base for an install and rebuild to better match the target machine. Those on "MIPS64" (R2 through R6) can use the MIPS-IV/N32 stage3 as a base for an install and rebuild. Again, all are big-endian architecture, as I have no working little-endian machines right now. Work on an updated netboot image for the SGI machines is still pending due to lack of time. I've got a basic script worked up that lets me manually copy target binaries and dependent libs to a chroot folder, but I haven't made much progress beyond that. Any issues or bugs, please assign to mips@gentoo.org in our Bugzilla.
