I think you're confused. What I meant is that your generic.h is correct
for your system and given compiler settings (the program producing it
autodetects endianness and word size), but you could do better by
tweaking the options to gcc. Then different settings would be in effect
and would be autodetected.
This will not help you build -jumbo, but it may result in a speedup
without -jumbo. For -jumbo, we're waiting for JimF to look into the
issue you reported previously.

I literally meant "-m64" and only it. Can you just try that? And also
stop trying to build -jumbo for now.

So you appear to be running a 64-bit kernel indeed. What does
/proc/cpuinfo say?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R4000
"... announced on 1 October 1991, it was one of the first 64-bit
microprocessors ..."
...and you probably actually have something newer than an r4k.
Also, since you were able to get non-jumbo to work, would you submit
your benchmark results to the wiki? -
