 Hmm, the patch seems to be incorrect -- mipsel-linux uses ld.so.1 per ABI
specification and not ld-linux.so* as the dynamic linker (at least on
glibc systems).  I'd replace `fgrep ld-linux.so' with `grep "ld.*\.so"'
(hopefully the quotation is understandable) above, to be on the safe side. 
The same applies to the sed script.

 Does anything use ld-linux.so* on mipsel-linux, BTW?  Hopefully nothing
is going to introduce this mess here, too.  We do not need libc.so.4
compatibility for mips*-linux.
