[OSy] Anybody experiencing problems with libiconv on OS X ?

[Martin Decky]

Dear all,

The OS X binaries of the toolchain that are available on the course web 
site were compiled against MacPorts (v10.11 for El Capitan), not against 
Homebrew. That is the reason for the incompatibility. AFAIK, MacPorts 
provide the genuine libiconv while Homebrew provides bsdconv.

Building the toolchain from sources using the toolchain.mips.sh script 
[1] is the best way to go. Note that I have just updated the script to 
the latest binutils (2.27), GCC (6.2.0) and GDB (7.12). The precompiled 
binaries will be updated in the following days.
