I tried the above on my i386 1.5_ALPHA setup with no luck.  The
mipsel-netbsd package installs into /usr/pkg/mipsel-netbsd so I adjusted
the hpcmips-make script accordingly.  Trying to build fetchmail (or
anything else for that matter) from pkgsrc produces the following:
 
--=> Checksum OK for fetchmail-5.4.4.tar.gz.
===> Extracting for fetchmail-5.4.4
===> fetchmail-5.4.4 depends on file: /usr/pkg/bin/autoconf - found

(cd /usr/pkgsrc/mail/fetchmail/work/fetchmail-5.4.4; autoreconf)
creating cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... mipsel--netbsd

checking whether the C compiler
(/usr/pkg/mipsel-netbsd/bin/mipsel-netbsd-gcc -O2  -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib
-L/usr/pkg/lib -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/pkg/lib) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler
cannot create executables.
*** Error code 1

I must be missing something in the toolchain setup but I'm not familiar
with cross compilers so I'm not sure what.  Any help appreciated....


Thanks,
