[asterisk-dev] MIPSEL and Asterisk

[Shireesh Annam]

Hi All:

I'm trying to build Asterisk 1.0.7 for MIPS architecture and I'm using
uClibc 0.9.28 (and OpenSSL 0.9.7 for the ssl and crypto library
dependencies). When my toolchain tries to link the object files to get
the * executable, I get the following errors, undefined references to
__res_nxxxx symbols.

Could someone help me debug this problem? I'm not an asterisk expert
and would like to seek the help of others who could have faced this
problem when trying to build asterisk.
