GNU linker for mips-*-sysv4*

GNU linker for mips-*-sysv4*

[Koundinya.K]

Hello everybody,
	I am a newcomer to this list. I have trying to port the gnubinutils 2.9.1 for 
my system running SVR4.2 O.S. on a Super Max Business Server supplied by Dansk 
Data Electronik Denamrk (with a mips cpu),  which is one of the members of the 
MIPS abi group.

For the gnu linker , since the configuration for me is not supported I am 
using the mips-sgi-irix5* configuration (elf32bsmp).

My system supports the elf32bit format.

I don't understand what the 's' in elf32bsmp stands for. Also What is the 
suggested configuration for linker that I can use.


Thanks for any information provided.

regards/

Koundinya

The difference between elf32bmip and elf32bsmip is simply that the
latter sets ENTRY to __start.  This is the symbol used for the
starting address on Irix systems.

I don't know what configuration is best for your system.  The Irix
configuration sounds like a good start.
