[Madwifi-users] MIPS cross compile fail revisited

[Robert L. <rli...@im...>]

hi all,

i'm using the latest CVS, and i can't cross compile (again).  using
TARGET=mipsisa32-le-elf, cross compiler tool chain custom built via kegel's
crosstools script with gcc 3.3.2.

it appears that for some reason, .config isn't being included.  since the
mips makefiles do lots of hocus pocus to pick the correct architecture flags
for gcc based on the cpu/board, etc (yeah, mips is a pain in the a**), the
net result is that the default is taken (which has -mcpu, which was
deprecated in gcc 3.x, and finally removed in 3.3, i believe).

any ideas?  the makefile for the target also uses gcc 3.3.2, so i don't
understand why this isn't working.

and, JMHO, i think that the madwifi makefiles shouldn't define COPTS, at
least on mips, as the kernel makefiles deal with this, and it just makes the
compile line longer, harder to debug, more error prone, etc.  not sure if
it's the same on other architectures.
