Hi,
I'm successfully running Debian/GNU Linux on a SGI Indy R4600PC@100Mhz
for over a year now. I'm very happy with the stability of Linux on that
machine. But since the machine is relatively slow (currently 30-35
shell user continuosly connected), I bought an Indigo2 R4400SC@250Mhz.
I thought of putting a mips64 kernel on the new machine: Got the rpm's
from ftp.linux-mips.org, converted them with alien to debs and installed
them on my quad xeon Debian box - checked out the linux source and
started compiling:
# cvs -d :pserver:cvs@ftp.linux-mips.org:/home/cvs co -r linux_2_4 linux
# cd linux
# make ARCH=mips64 dep
# make ARCH=mips64 clean
# make ARCH=mips64 all

Ok, the latter seems to be related to objdump, right?

elf64-bigmips elf64-littlemips ecoff-bigmips ecoff-littlemips
elf64-little elf64-big elf32-little elf32-big srec symbolsrec tekhex
binary ihex
The package on linux-mips.org seems not to be including
elf32-tradbigmips ...
Can somebody help me with this? Btw: same errors with co -r linux_2_4_21
...
Thank you,mic

Answer 2. All the data goes into another dimension, and comes out of
/dev/random. Stephen Montgomery-Smith on freebsd-hackers
