Compile Here, Run Everywhere: Crosstool-Ng

In a recent post, I mentioned that I wanted to build some tools for a stripped-down Linux running on a 3D printer with a MIPS CPU. I had two options: build a toolchain to cross-compile, or use Zig, which, in theory, has built-in toolchains for MIPS. I had to jump through hoops to get Zig to work, and I did mention Crosstool-Ng, so you might wonder why I didn’t start there.
