I'm almost done rebuilding the world with binutils-2.16.1, and will try 
glibc-2.3.6 with binutils-2.16.91.0.[34] then.

Until then, while rebuilding I've found:

1. mips-headers still has bug #94256 ("extern int errno;" instead of "#include 
<errno.h>"), which was fixed in linux-headers in May. Changing that allows me 
to build sys-apps/sysvinit-2.86-r3 (see also bug #113232 (which was for 
linux-headers-2.4)).

2. while using FEATURES="maketest", a couple of packages don't pass their 
testsuites (but I haven't had any problems using any of them). I'll return 
with a full list when I have rebuilt everything, and after checking if they 
break on other arches too.
