Remember, at present MIPS is dead in the water. For how long should we
delay pushing out a fix for that?
mips-irix has been broken for a long time now, and I don't remember
seeing any complaint. So I don't think we have that much pressure
to produce a good release within a short time frame. If anything,
I think it can wait until 6.3. The alternative for the users is to
either use 5.3, which was pretty good - or use a patched-up 6.2.1
with the couple of fixes I sent (this may be necessary if they use
a very recent version of GCC, I don't know).
