There isnt anything available and the development packages
(egcs/gcc and binutils) are at the moment the biggest problems
with linux-mips.

Currently the only half-way-stable development tools are
binutils-2.8.1 + mips-patch and egcs-1.0.3a + mips patch ...

The patches can be retrieved at ftp.oss.sgi.com ...

I am currently not able to build gmp2 or strace with the binutils
as they segfault - There are a couple of people working on it til
now with no success ...
