Several different - there is a Debian port (big and little endian),
H.J. Lu's RedHat mini-port (big endian AFAIK), Karel van Houten's
RedHat-based rootfs (little endian), Keith M. Wesolwski's Simple
Linux (big-endian). I think the most complete of all is Debian.

Why should we? VMware emulates i386 on i386, so it would be of no
help for mips development.

I always build natively:
gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)
GNU ld version 2.11.93.0.2 20020207 Debian/GNU Linux

The autobuilder is a system that checks for new Debian packages which
are not yet built for mips/mipsel and automatically builds and uploads
them into the Debian archive. It runs natively (in our case on a
Lasat Masquerade Pro for little endian and on an SGI Indigo2 for big
endian).
