25Supported platforms<br>
26-------------------<br>
27- MIPS32 and MIPS64 platforms are currently supported.<br>
28- Both little-endian and big-endian cores are supported.<br>
29- MIPS DSP ASE on MIPS32 platforms is supported.<br>
30<br>
31<br>
32Building V for MIPS<br>
33-------------------<br>
34- Native build is available for all supported platforms. The build system<br>
35expects that native GCC is configured correctly and optimized for the platform.<br>
36Yet, this may not be the case with some Debian distributions which configure<br>
37GCC to compile to "mips1" by default. Depending on a target platform, using<br>
38CFLAGS="-mips32r2", CFLAGS="-mips32" or CFLAGS="-mips64" or<br>
39CFLAGS="-mips64 -mabi=64" will do the trick and compile Valgrind correctly.<br>
40<br>
41- Use of cross-toolchain is supported as well.<br>
42- Example of configure line and additional configure options:<br>
43<br>
44   $ ./configure --host=mipsel-linux-gnu --prefix=&lt;path_to_install_directory&gt;<br>
45<br>
46 * --host=mips-linux-gnu is necessary only if Valgrind is built on platform<br>
47   other then MIPS, tools for building MIPS application have to be in PATH.<br>
48<br>
49 * --host=mips-linux-gnu is necessary if you compile it with cross toolchain<br>
50   compiler for big endian platform.<br>
51<br>
52 * --host=mipsel-linux-gnu is necessary if you compile it with cross toolchain<br>
53   compiler for little endian platform.<br>
54<br>
55 * --build=mips-linux is needed if you want to build it for MIPS32 on 64-bit<br>
56   MIPS system.<br>
57<br>
58 * If you are compiling Valgrind for mips32 with gcc version older then<br>
59   gcc (GCC) 4.5.1, you must specify CFLAGS="-mips32r2 -mplt", e.g.<br>
60<br>
61   ./configure --prefix=&lt;path_to_install_directory&gt;<br>
62   CFLAGS="-mips32r2 -mplt"<br>
63<br>
64<br>
65Limitations<br>
66-----------<br>
67- Some gdb tests will fail when gdb (GDB) older than 7.5 is used and gdb is<br>
68  not compiled with '--with-expat=yes'.<br>
69- You can not compile tests for DSP ASE if you are using gcc (GCC) older<br>
70  then 4.6.1 due to a bug in the toolchain.<br>
71- Older GCC may have issues with some inline assembly blocks. Get a toolchain<br>
72  based on newer GCC versions, if possible.<br>
