A bunch, for instance Playstations 1 and 2. In fact, for some
embedded MIPS variants GCC is the only compiler available; the users
of those will be most unhappy to hear that they have to find a
company that will sell them a proprietary compiler, just because
MIPS support was deprecated or dropped from GCC.
