Hi

I am about to start porting Linux to my hardware with an vr4181 processor.
The hardware is very close to the osprey architecture. Now my problem is
what toolchain to use.
I could do with an up to date opinion.

? gcc-2.95.3
? gcc-2.95.4
? egcs-1.1.2
? gcc-3.2
? binutils 2.13
? glibc 2.2.5
? Any patches
? http://www.ltc.com/~brad/mips/mips-cross-toolchain/index.html
? http://kegel.com/crosstool/

Where is a good starting point for a toolchain that will build and work?
I would prefere to build it my self because at a later state I might build
it under cygwin. But a prebuild does also have interest.

Kind regards Jorg
