I have just successfully bootstrapped MIPS with just the pending (amended) patch (3). i.e. with this patch (1) reverted so I did not need this one after all. I should have gone back and checked that originally. I'll commit the updated patch (3) later today. After checking an ARM build. Thanks for everyone's help and patience, Matthew
