Re: [PATCH] Remove misleading readelf MIPS output

personally, my preference is as done in
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2001-11/msg00113.html (print
"UNKNOWN machine" -- i'd be OK with different capitlization -- and
"unknown ISA", rrather than just not printing anything).

Guess the question is, do we expect these to have meaningful values as
defined in the binutils MIPS elf headers?  8-)

If so, IMO, the code should complain (or at least mention it) if they
don't.
