Description Fai Wong 2010-04-28 12:59:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
Current gcc RPM doesn't have MIPS architecture support, if one want to build MIPS system based on Fedora, there is not enough tools and libraries for that.
Some modifications needed for making gcc RPM on MIPS architecture, including compiling options and spec file changes.
The attached files are based on Fedora 12.
gcc.spec - spec file for gcc 4.4.3-4.fc12
macro - /usr/lib/rpm/platform/mips64el-linux/macro for rpm 4.7.1-6.fc12
rpmrc - /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/rpmrc for redhat-rpm-config 9.0.3-18.fc12

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle.
Changing version to '14'.

Comment 10 Jeff Moe (jebba) 2010-10-18 18:01:22 UTC 
I submitted a similar MIPS RPM macro patch upstream. See:
http://rpm.org/ticket/186

Also, you may have better luck if you submit the binutils patches under a binutils ticket and glibc patches under a glibc ticket than having them all here. The binutils/glibc maintainers may not see them here.

    Thank you for your bug report. 

    We are sorry, but the Fedora Project is no longer releasing bug fixes or any other updates for this version of Fedora. This bug will be set to CLOSED:WONTFIX to reflect this, but please reopen it if the problem persists after upgrading to the latest version of Fedora, which is available from:
