Hi Viswanath,

For my previous mail of cross compiling the kernel for mips board. I resolved the issue As u mentioned of on HOSTCC and CC for Target.
Is there any other way of compiling forth sources.
You can choose a system with the same bit width (32/64bit) and and endianess (big/little endian) and compile the dictionary natively there. Otherwise you will have to wait until OpenBIOS supports cross compiling officially.
And after cross compilation I am facing the problem of jumping from boot.s to main. Somehow Succeeded in jumping to cmain function. Openbios function is called from cmain during this period Context is saved is it necessary to initialize global pointer. Because once it goes to cmain after some Execution of instructions the global pointer gets manipulated and exception occurs. Why is it so.
Do you get any output before this? Did you initialize the stack properly in or before boot.S?
But in /arch/x86 example there is only the initilization of stack pointer. Do u have any example for Cross compilation procedure and linking the linker script to download to ROM or RAM.
Have a look at the current version at http://www.openbios.org/snapshots/
Relocation from rom to ram is currently only done by the underlying ELF loader (ie LinuxBIOS) but we want to support more in the future. Any concrete ideas / patches are welcome.
