FYI: mips-linux port status


After some interesting toolchain fiddling, and a little help from H.J. Lu
with more toolchain work, I've got the port in what I consider acceptable
shape.  I'm down to under fifty FAILs now, and the largest portion of my
patches to other areas of GDB are merged in.  There's a few yet to go,
though.

The known issues are:
  - need to implement sigtramp functions; they're just FIXMEs still
  - once you stop inside a shared library, you can't backtrace out of it.  I
    believe I know mostly what's going wrong; I'll get back to this in a
    little while.
  - copyright.  I can't get a response from David Miller as to whether or
    not he filed the assignment paperwork for the original work he did on
    this code.  While very little of what he did is left, and decreasing
    every day, I believe we may still need an assignment.  Does anyone have
    a more effective way to reach him than email, or know whether that
    assignment was filed?
