I'm currently trying to build a cross-compiler toolchain for mipsel based on the packages in FC4, and I'm getting the following message when running configure for gcc: /usr/mipsel-linux/bin/as: symbol lookup error: /usr/mipsel-linux/bin/as: undefined symbol: bfd_mips16_num_opcodes

The binutils package I'm using is located here: http://fedora.ivazquez.net/files/extras/binutils-mipsel.spec http://fedora.ivazquez.net/files/extras/binutils-mipsel-2.15.94.0.2.2-1.s... My current gcc-mipsel-minimal specfile, rpmbuild log, and obj-mipsel-linux/gcc/config.log are located here: http://fedora.ivazquez.net/files/current/ Does anyone have any idea what is going on, or where I should go for further assistance?

Okay, new problem.

I managed to figure it out thanks to some nudging in the right direction from jbj. FTR, you can define %__strip to change what you use to strip.

sed -n -e 's/^\(.*\):[ ]*current ar archive/\1/p'`; do strip -g $f done

Sounds plausible to me. If this holds, the origin of these files probably is brp-strip-*, because it blindly runs strip rsp. "<target>-strip" on all binaries and doesn't distinguish between foreign and native binaries. A straight forward work-around would be to hard-code the directories containing native/foreign binaries into brp-*.
