[Clfs-support] MIPS 32 (big endian)

[Petric Frank]

Hello,

i tried to build CLFS for a MIPS32 (big endian) platform which has no MMU.

Following guide "Cross-Compiled Linux From Scratch - Embedded - Version 
SVN-0.0.1-20081203-mips" it went well until i tried to configure uClibc 
(chapter 6.8.1) with no-MMU. For that after "make oldconfig" i called "make 
menuconfig" and switched the option "Target CPU has a memory management unit 
(MMU)" to off. At the same time two lines upper the file format changed from 
ELF to FDPIC ELF.

If i now try to comile uClibc i get the following output:
------------------------- cut -------------------------

Is there a way to fix it ?
My assemby capabilities are not good enough to do that myself ;-)

Or am i doing that (switching MMU support off) at the wrong place ?
