No, but we have the Linux kernel source, so we can find out how we have
to use the RTE.

Yep. I'm almost finished with Linux 2.4.31 (I've already been working on
it for a while). I've already imported most drivers and arch stuff, but
it doesn't compile cleanly yet. (A lot has changed since 2.4.17)

Your i386 toolchain builds a mipsel toolchain at the beginning of the
'./build.sh' process. The toolchain from pkgsrc is only needed to
compile the kernel because it understands the PS2 vector instructions
and such and the kernel is the only part of NetBSD/playstation2 that
uses these.

No problem. In the end I'll need testers anyway ;)
