Bug#341882: gcc-4.0: [mips] support for tri-arch on mips & mipsel

why can't the biarch-include patch not be used?
It probably can. This is likely the result of my attempts to keep my
changes some what isolated early on. I'll have a look at reducing this
to the existing biarch patch.
as we don't have all required libraries like zlib for biarch in lib,
some of with_lib32* and with_lib64* macros have to be disabled (or
maybe that's only the case for the gcc-4.1 packaging).
Building gcc-4.0 does need the tri-arch version of libc6 (patches in
341884). Unfortunately, there does seem to be a bit of a chicken and egg
problem on the first build. I'd be glad to provide a copy of my packages
if that would help. gcc-4.0 doesn't seem to have a problem with missing
libs other than the ones that are built as part of libc6, so the
dependency on zlib may be a 4.1 issue.
+# mips/mipsel build --------------------
+ifneq (, $(filter $(DEB_TARGET_ARCH_CPU),mipsel))
+ export GNUTARGET = elf64-tradlittlemips
+endif
+ifneq (, $(filter $(DEB_TARGET_ARCH_CPU),mips))
+ export GNUTARGET = elf64-tradbigmips
+endif
where are these used?
ar and ld get confused if they are not set. For some reason, it can't
decide which binary format to use. It may be a binutils bug, but I was
trying to not have to dig into that package and create a dependency on
a specific patch level of yet another package.
