 <p>(This hello world program is available here as well:

 <p>I recommend that you build a GCC cross compiler for the  
 <b>mips64-unknown-elf</b> target, and install it. Other compilers could  
 work too, but GCC is good because of its portability. Then try to compile  
 and link the hello world program:  
 <pre>  
         $ <b>mips64-unknown-elf-gcc -O2 hello_mips.c -mips4 -mabi=64 -c</b>  
         $ <b>mips64-unknown-elf-ld -Ttext 0xa800000000030000 -e f hello_mips.o -o hello_mips --oformat=elf64-bigmips</b>

         hello_mips: ELF 64-bit MSB mips-4 executable, MIPS R3000_BE, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped

 Type "<tt>s</tt>" to single-step one instruction. For some commands (e.g.  
 the single-step command), just pressing enter on a blank line will cause  
 the last command to be repeated. Type "<tt>quit</tt>" to quit.
