This is great news!  I now have version 1.2.2 cross compiled and 
functional on my MIPS target.

My apologies, Dr Henson.  I was mistaken.  Must have been a late night. 
You're correct, the FIPS_SIG changes are indeed present (and functional). 
The only thing I had to do was tweak to get my MIPS target working was 
tweak the INCORE_ADJUST variable in the 'incore' script (which I was using 
as FIPS_SIG).  The default of 4 was giving me fingerprint mismatch errors 
(to be expected on a new file format).  I'm not sure if the incore script 
is being maintained by anyone, but if so, hopefully they see this -- the 
code I'm using on this MIPS processor has a "file format", as reported by 
objdump, of "elf32-big", and the value "12" for the variable INCORE_ADJUST 
worked perfectly.  Even if it's not being maintained, I'm sure people can 
find this post with the help of any major search engine.

Thanks for setting me straight on the cross compile in 1.2.2!
