Build failure for ews4800mips

Does anyone understand (and could please fix) the strange build failure
for ews4800?

See:

  http://releng.netbsd.org/builds/HEAD/201205072110Z/ews4800mips.build.failed

BSDcan presentation

I feel somehow ecstatic to read the presentation made in BSDcan.

http://www.netbsd.org/~matt/bsdcan2012.pdf

The slides page 25-30 are what I have been stressing for years.
Those explaination should be a part of every OS course text book.

As long as my knowledge NetBSD is the very first open source OS
which claims VIPT cache-safe.

I wonder if "PCU, per-cpu-unit" can contribute;

- microMIPS, a redefinion of MIPS instruction stream in 16/32 encoding.
- dynamically configurable processors which have two or more faces in
one single person.
- software emulated CPU by builtin instruction emulator/translator.

Matt?

No.  microMIPS is done in a similar method to MIPS16e or ARM Thumb mode.
You can mix/match both code like arm does on thumb-interwork.

No idea what that means. :)

Actually that is one is more easily by a user-mode emulator.

Does Net run on the Lemote Fuloong?

Hi. I couldn't figure out which mailing list to ask, I hope this is the
right place. Does NetBSD run on the Lemote Fuloong and if so which port
should I use? Thank you.

The evbmips/LOONGSON kernel and a mips64el userland should do it.

have fun
