directory to /usr/cross/${MACHINE_ARCH}-freebsdelf/usr/lib so that
the cross tools behave the same way that the host versions do. When
building cross tools, Cygnus doesn't set the default library directory.
This doesn't suit FreeBSD IMHO.
name of the bfd target, not the gnu-standard target name. Corrected
to be elf32-{big,little}mips from mipse[bl]-unknown-freebsd.
DEFAULT_EMULATION was bogusly defined, causing ld to always fail (this
was masked by the TARGET bogosity). Define correctly as elf32bmip and
elf32lmip. Mips doesn't follow the same conventions as i386 and alpha
do in this area.
ld now appears to work correctly for the uncommitted mips changes to
egcs.
Unlike the unisex architecutres we've had so far, mips is bisexual.
These tools can produce either byte sex, and the compiler/make
determines the proper gender to use. Otherwise, we'd have to have had
mipsel and mipseb in all the places that we have just mips. And there
are other complications with doing that (binutils doesn't like to
build mips tools without both byte genders, it seems).
Introduced BINUTIL_ARCH so that other bisexual architectures can a
generic mechanism.
We cannot just define MACHINE_ARCH as mips because we need to
differentiate big and little endian types of binaries. Discussions on
freebsd-arch have hashed out this issue (and the parallel libc
issues). NetBSD is moving towards mipsel and mipseb for their two
flavors of mips ports (in time for 1.4, if this change hasn't already
been accomplished).
I've been building i386 worlds with this tree for a three months with
these files in place with no ill effects.
