I've been using gcc-4.5.1 for the last two weeks or so. :)
Should I add a ~mips keyword?

SGI stuff is going to become less and less interesting, but it's still
the most common MIPS hardware Gentoo users have [1].
STMicroelectronics MIPS systems (Lemote, Gdium, etc) are becoming more
common, and we should definitely do a better job supporting them. (I
should mention that I've been loaned a Yeelong by Daniel Clark, of
freedomincluded.com, to fix up the siliconmotion driver.)
I think we can reasonably support both. The Broadcom board I have can
with the switch of a jumper operate in big or little-endian mode, so I
can use it for both.
