Crosscompile for mipsel

[demontefacto]

I have an issue with LEDE crosscompile for mipsel (MT7620). It is looking for arch/mipsel/Makefile but this file (directory) is missing. If I do a symlink mips to mipsel in build dir, then it works. Could someone help(hint) me?

Is it for OpenWRT? OpenWRT support is added/explained by @alex-eri Please direct questions to him.

@alex-eri could you add your contacts to openwrt/README.md?

[alex-eri]

our Makefile does not looking at this directory. @demontefacto can you provide step by step how reproduce this?

@alex-eri - thank you for your assist
Tested with OpenWRT CC (4.4.7) and LEDE 17.01 (4.4.61)
Target MediaTek Ralink MIPS
Subtarget MT7620 based boards
Target Profile ZBT-WE826

Following your instruction here, I've added MakeFile (latest or stable version, it does not matter) to packages feeds.
I've selected ipt-netflow in the menuconfig -> make V=s. ->Makefile.In:627 arch/mipsel/Makefile does ...
I've tested to build against musl and glibc too. (I prefer glibc :))
If I do a symlink mips -> mipsel in build_dir/target-mipsel_24kc_glibc-2.24/linux-ramips_mt7620/linux-4.4.61/arch/, it is OK.

If you will need full error message, let me know. I do it again with clean build dir

comfirmed, seems Lede or Kernel bug

[alex-eri]

Kernel has

# Additional ARCH settings for x86
ifeq ($(ARCH),i386)
        SRCARCH := x86
endif
ifeq ($(ARCH),x86_64)
        SRCARCH := x86
endif

etc.

but not for mipsel
