16 Great. Thanks :)

18 I plan to build mips32 stages, but I don't really know much about this
19 type of hardware. As you guessed, I'm more interested in 64-bit
20 systems.
21
22 Are there big-endian mips32 systems worth supporting? My little-endian
23 userland seems to be dead and I've been building these big endian
24 stages, so I haven't had time to revive it yet.

26 If you would, please join the #gentoo-mips IRC channel. :)
