I also overwrote my local copy of sys/conf/files.mips with the one from CVS, then ran: make TARGET_ARCH=mips kernel-toolchain make TARGET_ARCH=mips NO_MODULES=yes MIPS_LITTLE_ENDIAN=yes buildkernel KERNCONF=MALTA buildkernel exit with 'unknown option for SOFTFLOAT and ISA_MIPS32'. Fine, I comment them out althought I don't think I should, then buildkernel exit with error: cc: /usr/home/jtoung/MIPS/src/sys/mips/mips/mips_subr.c: No such file or directory mkdep: compile fail so the file mips_subr.c is missing. My cross-compiling machine runs 6.2 STABLE by the way. Please someone advise on SOFTFLOAT, ISA_MIPS32 and mips_subr.c Thank you, Jerry
