Seems to me that makes mips-ecoff a candidate for deprecation and
removal in the next, ie. 2.16, release.  The same goes for all targets
that aren't actively maintained.  People are better served using an
older binutils release on such targets, because the older code is more
likely to work.

Which reminds me: 2.15 needs a list of targets that are not going to
be supported in the next release.  I suggest at least those that have
been removed from gcc.
