kernel for mips32 ?

[Sergio Monteiro Basto]

Hi, List 

I see that we have kernel for mips malta , but I'd like build a kernel
for mips 32  

# cat /proc/cpuinfo 
system type : Realtek Venus 
processor : 0 
cpu model : MIPS 4KEc V6.4

I am studying (as hobby) put a newer kernel on a multimedia player

So can we build a kernel for a mispel ?

I have others questions like why a kernel 2.6.26 ? and not newer ? 
Basically because some hardware support may need kernels newer.

Thanks in advance,
