>Originator:     Ben Harris
>Release:        2002-04-07
>Organization:
>Environment:
Cross-compile from Debian GNU/Linux 2.2
>Description:
sys/arch/playstation2/conf/Makefile.playstation2.inc contains:

EETOOLDIR       =       /usr/pkg/cross-ps2
TARGET  =       mipsEEel-netbsd

CC      =       ${EETOOLDIR}/bin/${TARGET}-gcc
LD      =       ${EETOOLDIR}/bin/${TARGET}-ld
CXX     =       ${EETOOLDIR}/bin/${TARGET}-g++
AS      =       ${EETOOLDIR}/bin/${TARGET}-as
CPP     =       ${EETOOLDIR}/bin/${TARGET}-cpp
RANLIB  =       ${EETOOLDIR}/bin/${TARGET}-ranlib
AR      =       ${EETOOLDIR}/bin/${TARGET}-ar
NM      =       ${EETOOLDIR}/bin/${TARGET}-nm
SIZE    =       ${EETOOLDIR}/bin/${TARGET}-size
STRIP   =       ${EETOOLDIR}/bin/${TARGET}-strip

This overrides the normal cross-compile (or indeed native)  toolchain, so
that kernel builds (e.g. as part of a "make release")  have no chance of
success.

>How-To-Repeat:
	MACHINE=playstation2
        sh build.sh \
                -U -m $MACHINE \
                -T /u1/ben/netbsd/tools \
                -O /u1/ben/netbsd/obj.$MACHINE \
                -D /u1/ben/netbsd/dest.$MACHINE \
                -R /u1/ben/netbsd/release.$MACHINE \
                > build.log.$MACHINE 2>&1

 this appears to date back to when the only (?) way to build a ps12
 environment was via a cross compiler from pkgsrc.  if this is no
 longer true, this stuff should probably (imho) just get nuked.

 actually, i thought this was necessary as we don't have support
 for the ee in any of our toolchains.

State-Changed-Why:  
As well as a few extra r5900 op-codes, there's also a reasonable amount 
of silicon bug workarounds in the mipsEE gcc/binutils packages too. 
Also, the package patches add support for more that just the r5900. 
It would not be trivial to add mipsEE support to our current toolchain.

after a long bout with apathy, the playstation2 port has been removed.
