Yeah - I HOPE it's a simple hardware error.
Can't tell though - I only have one Evaluation
board for now...

When I try to cross-compile a simple file, say arp.c
(straight from the standard -current source file).

I compile it using my cross compiler, which is "mipsel--netbsd-gcc", for
example,
and create an object file, like "mipsel--netbsd-gcc -c arp.c".
This works fine on the build system. I cant seem to link
the file using the cross-ld, though, so I move the object file
to the target board, and use it's native ld to try and link the object
file with libc and crt0.o. This seems to go fine; the executable
cannot be executed, though.

Any thoughts?
