I din't check it in. Someone forgot to check in the rest of my patch:

2001-06-07  H.J. Lu  <hjl@gnu.org>

        * configure.in: Move "mips-*-linux-gnu*" before "mips-*-gnu*".
        * configure: Regenerate.

2001-06-07  H.J. Lu  <hjl@gnu.org>

        * configure.in: Use MIPS_STABS_ELF for Linux/mips and remove
        ecoff emulation. 
        * configure: Regenerate.

I never tested such a change. I won't recommend 2.11.2 for Linux/mips.
