Gentoo/MIPS Cobalt: µClibc stages on their way

Hi All…

Whilst forging ahead into new territory for the Gentoo/MIPS project on the n32 front, I also figured now would be a good time to update the µClibc stages for mipsel.

I’ve completed a cross-compile from x86 of an entire mipsel environment, and I’m now just about to set this up to use as a seed stage in Catalyst.  Once this is done and I’ve bootstrapped a system with it, I should be set to build a full mipsel environment.  This will be compiled for MIPS-1 class CPUs, and thus should be compatable with embedded devices such as wireless routers.  Note: This does not mean we will officially start supporting wireless routers.  They are still officially unsupported, and users are very much on their own when troubleshooting problems on these devices.

I’ll keep you all posted on the progress. :-)
