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. |

UPDATING |
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $Id: README,v 1.13 1998/09/13 09:38:34 markm Exp $ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel and the contents of /etc. Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel with config(8) is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it wouldn't even run).
