OK, I've finally got round to [trying to] compile a kernel for IP12, using
a GENERIC32_IP12 config based on the mods suggested.

Problem is, I'm trying to cross compile from a Debian Linux machine, but
fail when building the tools. I'm using (source in /scratch/tmp/src):
$ ./build.sh -T /scratch/tmp/src/cross -U -m sgimips tools

But fail when building sgivol:

/scratch/tmp/src/cross/bin/nbhost-mkdep -d -f .depend -s .lo\ .ln sgivol.d
#   compile  sgivol/sgivol.lo
cc -O -I/scratch/tmp/src/tools/compat/obj -I/scratch/tmp/src/tools/compat/obj/include  -I/scratch/tmp/src/tools/sgivol/../compat -DHAVE_NBTOOL_CONFIG_H=1  -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64  -c -o sgivol.lo.o    /scratch/tmp/src/sys/arch/sgimips/stand/sgivol/sgivol.c
/scratch/tmp/src/sys/arch/sgimips/stand/sgivol/sgivol.c:42:27: sys/disklabel.h: No such file or directory
...


Am I doing something fundamentally wrong? src/tools/compat/README
indicates cross builds are fine on RH, so I wouldn't expect Debian to be
much different.

I've just started a build on the only available NetBSD box I have, but
that is a 2xSPARC as opposed to a 2xAthlon:( Hopefully, I'll have better
luck with that, but it'll take a while.
