If you guys want to reproduce it, in order to figure out what mips does
with its headers that no other arch does, it should be as simple as:

wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/files/bin/x86_64/4.6.3/x86_64-gcc-4.6.3-nolibc_mips-linux.tar.xz

<untar somewhere>
<add resulting bin dir to your $PATH>

export CROSS_COMPILE=mips-linux-
export ARCH=mips

cd kernel-source
make allmodconfig
make -j16 samples/
