[ELDK] Building ELDK 4.2 for MIPS

[Gianni]

Hi *,

I'm trying to compile the ELDK 4.2 for MIPS for a while now and I've hit a 
brick wall when trying to compile the crosstoool package.

When I run "ELDK_BUILD -a mips", everything runs fine until I get an error with 
the following message in the 
eldk-4.2/build/mips-2009-03-10/logs/build_crosstool.log:

Is my ld incompatible with my libc?  This doesn't makes sense which I think it 
might mean I am missing a patch or something...  has anyone come across this 
issue?  I've search the mailing lists but haven't found anything.


Thanks in advance.
