--- Comment #4 from Steve Ellcey <sje at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-07-31 15:26:56 UTC --- I configured with: --disable-libssp --disable-libgomp --disable-libmudflap --disable-fixed-point --disable-decimal-float --with-arch=mips32r2 --with-synci --with-llsc --with-mips-plt --enable-languages=c,c++ on a little endian debian system, I did not specify the target but it defaulted to mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu.
