It looks like the whole configure part is broken, assuming that MIPS CPU are all sicortex (which is a platform dead for years) and that 32-bit CPU are using the N32 abi. It happened to build on mipsel because passing -arch=mipsel is not recognized. Maybe that's the way to go, passing something like -arch=generic to disable parts of the configure script? -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-glibc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
