Main problem with MIPS is to get hands on a reasonable development

GHz, 128 MB or more RAM, at least 1 GB of HD/SSD). Cross compiling is
possible of course, but it makes testing and bug fixing very tedious. If
ssh to such a system is available, I'll look into fixing the MIPS port
without any bounty.
My experience is that Qemu's support of a MIPS target isn't bad,
although what I've done so far has been cross-hosted which was certainly
good enough for compilation of e.g. the compiler in isolation.
Didn't somebody already have loan hardware for this?
I'd certainly be happy to continue chugging away at testing once the
assembler reader issue was sorted out- at least until the next
insurmountable problem :-)
