How about if the config.mk runs a little test program, like configure does?
If you want to _run_ the test program you have to use the host compiler, which is not interesting. And when you use the cross compiler which you want to test then you cannot run the test program on the development host.
Oh, do you know why I have to use the: -Wa,-allow_branch_to_undefined instead of: -Wa,-mips_allow_branch_to_undefined even though (I guess) I use the same patch as you do?
Probably because it's a slightly different version of the patch. See the eldk_build build module on our CVS server: cross_rpms/binutils/SOURCES/binutils-2.14.0-mips-asm-undefbranch.patch target_rpms/binutils/SOURCES/binutils-2.14.0-mips-asm-undefbranch.patch
And why don't you accept the patch that eliminates this patch to binutils?
Ummm.. which patch are you referring to?
