Hi Thiemo,
thanks a lot for the explanations!

I don't care about old compilers at the moment ;)

So to build kernels for say IP22 R5k I'd change the current
        GCCFLAGS += -mcpu=r5000 -mips2 -Wa,--trap
to 
        GCCFLAGS += -mabi=o32 -march=R5000 -mtune=R5000 -Wa,--trap
where as for R4X00 I use
        GCCFLAGS += -mabi=o32 -march=R4600 -mtune=R4600 -Wa,--trap
Correct?
