Well, when you’ve confirmed that you’ve managed to build something with
these binaries, I’ll upload them to alpha.gnu.org, and then we can have
bootstrap.scm and build-aux/download.scm refer to that.

Hmm, I think we should just call it ‘mips64el-linux’ since the ABI is
really something orthogonal.

What do you mean? ‘%bootstrap-guile’ needs to refer to that new
tarball, right?

I think so!

Good question. I think we should use ‘mips64el-linux’ as the system
type (which is really just ARCHITECTURE-KERNEL). IOW, let’s not use
‘mips64el-linux-gnuabi64’ anywhere, except as a GNU triplet when
cross-compiling.
When we want to support multiple ABIs for a given ARCHITECTURE-KERNEL
tuple, we’ll have to provide a mechanism in addition to --system that
would allow users to select the libc/gcc/binutils to use, I think.
For now, let’s just keep it simple and use ‘mips64el-linux’ for N64.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
