Morning, Nick. Thanks for your help. I have submitted a (possible) bug report for that config project. If nothing else it would be nice to satisfy my curiosity and know what the purpose of that particular coalescence is for. Cheers, Pete Restall On Tue, 2023-11-14 at 13:38 +, Nick Clifton

Hi Pete, I believe it's the target normalisation in config.sub (line 1055) that does it: mips3*-*) cpu=mips64 ;; Interesting... That doesn't seem quite right to me but I don't know much about binutils to know what the rationale is for that transfor

Hi Pete, I've been attempting to build a cross-compiler for a MIPS32 microcontroller (specifically an M14KE) and I've been running into problems that appear to stem from binutils silently coalescing 'mips32' into 'mips64'. What specifically are these problems ? All configurations of the binut

Good Evening, I've been attempting to build a cross-compiler for a MIPS32 microcontroller (specifically an M14KE) and I've been running into problems that appear to stem from binutils silently coalescing 'mips32' into 'mips64'. The simplest reproduction is to extract binutils-2.41.tar.gz and then
