If you want to _run_ the test  program  you  have  to  use  the  host
compiler,  which  is  not  interesting.  And  when  you use the cross
compiler which you want to test then you cannot run the test  program
on the development host.

Probably because it's a slightly different version of the patch.  See
the eldk_build build module on our CVS server:
cross_rpms/binutils/SOURCES/binutils-2.14.0-mips-asm-undefbranch.patch
target_rpms/binutils/SOURCES/binutils-2.14.0-mips-asm-undefbranch.patch

Ummm.. which patch are you referring to?

Best regards,
