I added preliminary stub glue to dietlibc that let it compile for mips64, but 
as I did not yet touch any assembly the resulting binaries will most likely not 
work correctly (e.g. crash on startup).

At least this let's all dietlibc depending packages build for now (yay!), so 
that we can concentrate on really implementing mips64 support in dietlibc 
instead of marking any package depending on dietlibc to not support mips64, ...

PS: I do not have a mips64 silicon near me at the moment, I think I already 
wrote somewhere that I stored my Sgi Octane (2 IIRC) at my parent attic as it 
was too loud for the office, ... Maybe someone wants to send in (as in donate) 
less noisy MIPS64 hardware?
