[gentoo-user] MIPS question

[gentoo-user] MIPS question

[Michel Catudal]

What would be the HOST name for a MIPS achitecture that is 32 bit, little Endian and hardfloat. I have no interest whatsoever for a soft float system.

I want a hardfloat MIPS gentoo for the MIPS creator. I am not sure if the one that Imagination has is hard float or soft float. In the same light, is the stage available for MIPS 32 bit little Endian is hard float of soft float? If there is a hard float 
stage which one is it? If not I will have to figure out how to convert one or create one from scratch.

For hard float with ARM the word hardfloat is in the HOST name so it is obvious which one is hard float and which one isn't.

Thanks

Michel

I meant CHOST not HOST

I think it's mipsel-linux-gnu (should be set on the tarball - read the README 
on the tarball directory) and add -mhard-float or -msoft-flloat to CFLAGS and 
CXXFLAGS. I don't know if any mips that can run Linux don't have FPU but you 
don't care if it's disabled in the tarball cause you're going to rebuild it 
during the install.
