Re: [OT] Learning MIPS ISA using GCC and Debian

I am learning the MIPS ISA in class and I guess the best way to learn
this is using real world examples. Thus, I was hoping I could write a
program in C and compile it into MIPS assembly and learn the MIPS ISA
that way.
I am not too familiar with gcc but I have used it and I also know that
objdump tool can be used to disassemble C programs. However, I am not
sure how to cross-compile into MIPS.
I apologize if this question is too obvious.
Running Debian Testing.
Thanks for any help.

Description: machine emulator for multiple architectures
GXemul aims at emulating complete machines with enough hardware
emulated to run real unmodified operating systems. The emulation of
these machine types is good enough to run a least one guest operating
system:
.
ARM-based machines:
* CATS (NetBSD/cats, OpenBSD/cats)
* IQ80321 (NetBSD/evbarm)
* NetWinder (NetBSD/netwinder)
MIPS-based machines:
* DECstation 5000/200 (NetBSD/pmax, OpenBSD/pmax, Ultrix,
Linux/DECstation, Sprite)
* Acer Pica-61 (NetBSD/arc)
* NEC MobilePro 770, 780, 800, 880 (NetBSD/hpcmips)
* Malta (NetBSD/evbmips
* Algorithmics P5064 (NetBSD/algor)
* SGI O2 (aka IP32) (NetBSD/sgi) (enough for root-on-nfs)
PowerPC-based machines:
* IBM 6050/6070 (PReP, PowerPC Reference Platform) (NetBSD/prep)
SuperH-based machines:
* Sega Dreamcast (NetBSD/dreamcast) (enough for ramdisk userland)
.
Other machine types and architectures are emulated less completely.
See the documentation in the gxemul-doc package for the exact details
and guides to installing guest operating systems.
