Along this note - I'm not sure offhand if anything else is missing, but
the ABI change for traditional vs. SGI MIPS ABI is not on the branch. 
All the existing Linux/MIPS distributions have switched or are
switching; it would be nice to see it moved over.  That's:

+2001-04-05  Steven J. Hill  <sjhill@cotw.com>
+
+       * Makefile.am (ALL_EMULATIONS): Add eelf32ltsmip.o.
+       (ALL_64_EMULATIONS): Add eelf64btsmip.o and eelf64ltsmip.o.
+       (eelf32ltsmip.c): New target.
+       (eelf64btsmip.c): Likewise.
+       (eelf64ltsmip.c): Likewise.
+       * Makefile.in: Regenerated.
+
+       * configure.tgt (mips*el-*-linux-gnu): Uses traditional MIPS
+       target.
+       (mips*-*-linux-gnu*): Likewise.
+
+       * emulparams/elf32ltsmip.sh: New. Traditional little endian
+       MIPS taget.
+       * emulparams/elf64btsmip.sh: New. Traditional 64bit big endian
+       target.
+       * emulparams/elf64ltsmip.sh: New. Traditional 64bit little
+       endian target.
