Original bug ID: 4849
Reporter: @rixed
Assigned to: @xavierleroy
Status: closed (set by @xavierleroy on 2011-06-04T15:40:48Z)
Resolution: won't fix
Priority: normal
Severity: block
Version: 3.11.1
Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)
Monitored by: @glondu

Bug description

This was already reported on #4359, which was closed as "wontfix" since Mips
is not supported any more.
Anyway, as I believe Mips is far from dead (since China decided to build some), here is a patch that :

  • complete the configure script in order to choose correct default for mips64el-linux-gnu architectures
  • fix the generated code to handle little endian
  • fix a bug in generated code related to gp (may not have been present on Irix)

Notice that this patch was designed to work on a GNU/Linux distribution with n32 userland (as now, that mean experimental gentoo, experimental suze and maybe soon a new debian). This won't be enough on a stock mipsel debian (I would say it would be possible with multilib and maybe without dynlink but haven't tried).

Any news on that ?
If there is a problem with that patch maybe I can help fix it ?

I forgot to fix a bug when calling a C function with more than 8 parameters. The last patch fix this (as well as previous problems).

Apologies for leaving this PR hanging for so long. Interest in the MIPS port of ocamlopt seems still very low, and I'm still unable to maintain it by lack of appropriate hardware, so I think it is time to declare that port officially abandoned.
