Build note⚓︎

Node.js recompilation is a multi-core operation that keeps the host system busy for many hours and requires significant RAM; the number of parallel jobs in the submake has been reduced to keep resource consumption manageable.

V8 and MIPS32⚓︎

• Node.js 18 is the last line that is generally workable on MIPS32.
• Starting from Node.js 19+, practical V8 support for MIPS32 is no longer maintained in a reliable way.
• Some configure options may still exist, but real-world support is oriented to mips64 and mips64el.
• Result: for MIPS32 targets, staying on Node.js 18 is the recommended path.
