That's my situation, too.

I've installed a recent binutils, and I'm trying to compile a
gcc-2.7.2 so that it can produce pic code with the -fpic or -fPIC
flags.

Does anybody have specs file modifications so that these flags will
indeed turn on all the required cc1 switches (I think the only change
would be to gcc-2.7.2/config/mips/netbsd.h).

Recent GNU C library snapshots have an ELF ld.so and startup
files... I don't know exactly what needs to be done for that yet, but
I'll tell you (and the list) when I have more information.

Good luck,
