Where is the recommended way documented? Who does the recommending? The recommended way requires a libc in the process. The standard build process fails if there is no libc.

You should probablyalso have --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld here, it probably defaults to some mips assembler.Not needed, the mips*-linux config defaults to GNU tools.I have just compiled a mips64-linux toolchain with the attached makefiles (you just need to say it's for mips64-linux in Makefile.defs).Why didn't you use the recommended way, along the way of the appended script? It would have been much less effort, with more reliable results.

Of course I didn't I had the tar file lying there and sent that the only thing that was needed was for it to beHowever it gives a lot of warnings when you try to compile 64 bit and it seems to be configured for 32 bit despite the 64 in the name. To get 64 bit longs you need to give -mabi=64 on the commandline.That's little surprising if you actually built for a mips32isa-elf target, like the Makefile suggests. Btw, mips32isa-elf doesn't support n32/n64 ABI, so it's unlikely to work in that case.
configured correctly.
