[oe-users] Error on compiling Linux 2.6.21 for mips with uClibc

[Christian Pössinger]

Hello,

I try to compile the linux-2.6.21 Kernel for the MIPS Architecture with
uClibc.

I get the following error:

But looking into siteinfo.bbclass shows me a

"mips-linux-uclibc":       "endian-big bit-32 common-uclibc",\

Also with the generated toolchain by openembedded it is possible for me to
compile the kernel with make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips-linux-uclibc-
all so this looks like an OE issue to me.
