Right now, I want to clear up P9P on the Lemote, if at all possible. Once I'm sure of where that is going, I'll consider finding out how to generate ELFes under Plan 9 for the MIPS platform. I'll try not to be stubborn.

I think Steve Simon is right and there is a partial implementation of the MIPS-64 compiler lurking. But I don't think I'll be the one to complete it, compiler construction is not one of my (scarce) strong suits. ++L
