How do I build/run 32bit MIPS code?

[jsun]

Starting from version v10.2-200127, Debian/MIPS machine is 64bit environment. However, it supports multi-lib architecture and thus supports both 32bit and 64bit development.

Suppose you have a C code file called hello.c.

• To build 64bit code, simply run "gcc hello.c"
• To build 32bit code, run "gcc -mabi=32 hello.c"

You use the same flag, "-mabi=32", to build 32bit code for g++ as well.
