It should be, yes.
At least I have a vague memory of packaging one (mips or mipsel) at some
point in time and it worked correctly then :)
The compiler is seen by sb-conf/sb-menu if there's a directory for the
compiler under /scratchbox/compilers and there exists a file called
compiler-name which contains information on the compiler. See other
toolchain packages for various examples. This file is generated by
sb-toolchain-extras.
Anyway, given your toolchain works outside scratchbox, the process
should be somewhat straightforward. The possible problems are mostly
files in some unusual locations, but that can be solved with proper
build-time configuration (the .conf file in meta/alien-tc) and/or
creative symlinking...
You can also test your compiler using an explicit path, even if you have
no target, ie.
/scratchbox/compilers/my-compiler/bin/arch-foo-linux-bar-gcc
/scratchbox/packages/hello.c and see what happens.
And if you can provide more detailed error message, then probably me (or
someone else here) would be more likely to come up with a more detailed
answer :)

Hi,
Is it possible to use a prebuilt mips compiler on scratchbox? I have
walked through the steps in ForeignToolchains wiki, but no joy. My
compiler did not even show up in the compilers list (the one in the
setup menu). Any ideas?
Thanks,
Levent
