Also, FWIW, if there is interest in trying to get an Linux Standard Base working 
group for the MIPS Processor, one of the LSB Steering Committee members used to 
be Chair of the MIPS ABI Group Technical Committee, which wrote the MIPS ABI. 
And, uh, yeah, I'll admit it, I used to chair the TC, too, once upon a time. So, 
we actually still have some people around who at least used to know something 
about it...
