Hi All, We did the MIPS Android port, and here is the change that we submitted to googlesource. https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/34000/ Please check this file: 0007-gcc-mips.patch under ndk/build/tools/toolchain-patches/gcc after "git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/ndk"; (Or, https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/34000/2/build/tools/toolchain-patches/gcc/0007-gcc-mips.patch) It basically sets the MIPS target to little-endian MIPS32 for mips-linux-android. Also, it changes the GCC driver for MIPS Android. For MIPS Android unwinding supports, we add __BIONIC__ check to compile unwind-dw2-fde-glibc.c. We will be glad to help to merge code to GCC mainline. Thanks! Regards, Chao-ying
