Ah, I see. So it's binutils which can't handle it. No wonder I couldn't find any bug reports. :-P Is this the GOT handling problem noted at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=274738 ? If so, http://lists.debian.org/debian-mips/2004/10/msg00016.html and http://lists.debian.org/debian-mips/2004/10/msg00020.html indicate that this is not reproducible. Furthermore it doesn't appear to have been tested since then. I can't find any reference to this bug in the ghc6 or ghc5 bug reports, current or archived. There is also no report for this bug in binutils Bugzilla (http://sourceware.org/bugzilla) or on the old bug-binutils mailing list (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-binutils/ ). This is no way to get a bug fixed. If this is seriously the level of attention to mips and mipsel, Debian support for them should be dropped. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
