If the tree is broken, I'd like to know about it.  Rarely do I know that
it is broken and leave it alone.  One exception would be last night when
it was too late for me to fix the build issues, but Sasha was kind
enough to do so.

So it's not noise to me, if it's easy enough for you to do so.

I think I fixed up the MIPS stuff, turns out gcc was just crashing on a
filesystem driver with an internal error.  I think I need a different
version of gcc if I want to build more arches...

I'll go push out a -rc with this fixed up now, thanks.
