I know how big your binaries are - after all I'm still using a mostly static linked system also. So I assume that your /bin/ls is also about 15 times the size of the i486-linux shared /bin/ls ...

This night I should find the time to rebuild the libs, also. > BTW, I assume that you are using GNU libc? Yes, I'm using GNU libc snapshot 960619. Linux libc is lacking tons of code required for MIPS fp support. The problem is simply that MIPS only has the capabilities to add, subtract, multiply and divide in hardware, some FPUs can do sqrt() while Intel/68881/68882 can do many complex computations in hardware. Also HJ's way to maintain the code and the code itself made it a bit of a pain to use Linux libc ... On which libc is your SGI stuff based? Also I'm trying to make my work as SGI-ish as possible. I don't have access to a SGI or documentation but have some questions about IRIX regarding the shared lib stuff, PIC code and more. Can you help me?

The binaries are based on GNU libc snapshot 960619. In order to use these libraries you also have to: - Run Linux/MIPS kernel version 2.0.1 or newer. I'll upload this one rsn. - Install new binutils and GCC. These are yet unreleased; I'll release the patches rsn. This is necessary even if you link your programs static only because on MIPS even the static archives contain PIC code which the current binutils can't handle. The dynamic linker clearly still has alpha status; expect to see all sorts of bugs. The little endian binaries are those that I use on my system. I provide the big endian binaries untested and in the hope that they'll be usefull.

It took some hacking, and I had to type make a few times becuase the compiler would crash here and there, but it did work. To test how well it went I then proceeded to boot the INDY using the Linux kernel it had just built for itself, and it worked! ;-) SCSI driver is next... Later, David S.
