Yes you could use the same toolchain that is supplied with Netgear source code for WGR614v8.

I have successfully compiled the tomato source code that I have downloaded from this site. Initially I was getting some error messages. However I am able get rid of those problems. 

I have used following steps:

1.   bunzip2 tomato-src-wgr614L.tar.bz2

2. tar xvf tomato-src-wgr614L.tar

3. export PATH=/opt/brcm/hndtools-mipsel-uclibc-3.2.3/bin:$PATH

4. export PATH=/opt/brcm/hndtools-mipsel-linux-3.2.3/bin:$PATH 

5. cd bcm5354/src 

6. make 

This is the same toolchain that I used during compiling of WGR614v8 source code.

 I have got following error

make[2]: Leaving directory `/bcm5354/src/router/iptables'
make[1]: *** [iptables] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/bcm5354/src/router'
make: *** [all] Error 2

When I am compiling the same code second time I have got different error messages.

make[2]: Entering directory `/bcm5354/src/linux/linux'
touch: cannot touch `/home/nachi/Work/Netgear/src/WGR614v8/bcm5354/src/linux/linux/include/asm/param.h': No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [/home/nachi/Work/Netgear/src/WGR614v8/bcm5354/src/linux/linux/include/asm/param.h] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tathagata/Tomato_WGR614v8/bcm5354/src/linux/linux'
make[1]: *** [kernel] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/bcm5354/src/router'
make: *** [all] Error 2
 

I think code is not fully clean. There are some .depend files which create those problems.

So I have given following command

1. rm -rf $(find . -name '.depend')

2. make

This time it is successfully compiled.

Thanks for the fix. It will be great if you can put a blog on this so that it becomes easier to find.
