Hi,

We are trying to generate a kernel + RAM disk (NetBSD 3.0) for a MIPS
based chip that doesn't have an FPU.

So far all attempts have failed one way or another. Either we ended up
with libraries that still had floating-point instructions in them or
linking just fails.

Running 'MKSOFTFLOAT=yes ./build.sh -U -u -m sbmips-eb build' resulted in

[...]

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The toolchain that created this error was built with 'MKSOFTFLOAT=yes
./build.sh -m sbmips-eb tools'.

Does anybody have any hints or tips?

Regards,
Markus
