I guess this has been discussed on IRC, but the discussion has been
very long, and I didn't follow all of it. So here are some basic
questions:

 - What is your Buildroot configuration ?

 - What is the exact MIPS processor you're running this on ?

 - Does it work when --disable-mipsfpu is passed, or when
   --enable-mipsfpu is passed ?

Thanks,

Thomas
