I've been using your old October toolchain-20011020-* quite happily.
So foolishly, I upgraded to this new toolchain*rpm for mipsel on i386.
When building a linux-mips.sourceforge.net -based kernel, if I
include CONFIG_PCI in the configuration, I get:
...
mipsel-linux-ld -G 0 -static -T arch/mips/ld.script.0x80002000

\
--end-group \
-o vmlinux
drivers/char/char.o(.data+0x3990): undefined reference to `local symbols in
discarded section .text.exit'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
If I don't include CONFIG_PCI the problem goes away.
It also sometimes complained about symbols in drivers/net/net.o.
I stumbled on:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2001/debian-devel-200112/msg00768.html
which says that Alan Cox came up with enabling CONFIG_HOTPLUG as a workaround.
Seems to work. :-/
Other useful suggestions found were to downgrade ones' binutils. :-)
