I too am interested in using GCC for a R4000. I would be happy with
32 bit mode. What is required to be able to cross compile for a
R4000 based embedded controller on SunOS 4.1.3 or NetBSD-0.9. Can
GCC, GAS and GLD be made to generate binaries for the R4000 in
32 bit mode on either of these environments ? If yes, what are
the steps required?
