I was able to compile Madwifi for xscale-be-elf with a minimal change to
suppress obsolete -mshort-load-bytes that I committed as revision 1644.
I haven't seen any errors like those you

I haven't observed such problems.  It must be your misconfiguration.  I
was using a cross-compiler compiled as part of the "buildroot" build
system (http://buildroot.uclibc.org/) (buildroot from Subversion,
configured to use released versions of busybox and uClibc, gcc 3.4.6,
binutils 2.16.1).
