The problem is the linker (presumably /usr/bin/ld) does not find the math library (likely name is /lib/libm.so.6). You can add "-v" to the gcc command line to find out what it looks for. JFTR, building qemu on Debian mips worked for me some days ago, but the resulting binary was broken (as expected with current CVS). > I *do* have it configured with "--with-arch=r4600", which > may have led to problems.

A plain upstream tarball and the classic "./configure && make && make install" should work for that. Thiemo
