I am looking at setting up a cross compilation environment for the
gdium and I am curious about how in general this is done. I was
looking over some of the online documentation my understanding is I
need to have Loongsun 2/F specific libraries to link against in
certain cases (C libraries). Other than that is there anything else I
would need? Any types of advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I have been editing and adding to this Howto
http://olph.gdium.com/wiki/doku.php/system:building_a_toolchain

Please edit /add / correct steps to get a working toolchain for
MIPSEL (Little Endian) operational.
I was stuck on the GMP and MPFR additons to GCC. I think it is
corrected know Aug 8, 2009,
but I have not tested to get the gcc_mips_ completely built yet.

Please add what you learn about getting library sources and kernel
headers too.

I actually did find that on emdebian site most of the packages I
needed precompiled. The problem was there was some rather odd
dependency in the package chain where dpkg-cross would generate no
useful files making it difficult to install the packages which would
be required to install gcc.
