Also, after discussion with Ralf on IRC, the decision has been made to except the patch as the fix. There will not be an additional target 'irix[little|big]mips' added. Linux and SVR4 will utilize 'trad[little|big]mips' and IRIX and other targets will use '[little|big]mips'. Also, when building for Linux targets, the 'elf[32|64]_[little|big]mips' targets (IRIX) will not be built as emulation targets. -Steve -- Steven J.
