What is "also the default setup" ?

$ sh config.sub mipsel-linux
mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu

Have you been asking on uclinux mailinglist for general advice
on porting software to this platform? It may well be that the
current auto*tool software suite does not fit all too well into
the current status of that project (it's still evolving or so
I think) - and in which case the auto*tool project people would
like to cooperate on bringing the tools to a shape that makes
it easier than it seems to be now.

What's your current status - what was the result of your question
on the sdl mailinglist a few days a go - what was the result of
digging into uclinux mailinglist archive - what specific problems
can you make out - have you read esr's smart-questions so that
you are up ready with the speech habits in a technical forum?
