hey,

so, i decided to recompile djgcc, to make it a dos->mips crosscompiler,
and seem to be running into slight glitches.

when running configure.bat (--host=i386-pc-msdosdjgpp
--target=mips-mips-elf) everything goes smoothly, until it reaches GAS -
it then stops saying that it does not have support for 'CPU mips' and
'object format elf'. 

i checked, and the script comes to that conclustion by checking that
files gas/config/tc-mips.c and gas/config/obj-elf.c don't exist - so i
thought i'd 'fix' that by copying those and their associated header
files from the original gnu binutil distribution. however crude, that
seem to have worked, but since i won't be able to run the recompiled
binutils anytime soon, i was wondering - would this quick hack work, or
am i shooting myself in the foot by mixing source files? is there a
different way of giving it mips/elf support?

thanks!

rob
