Yes, I know, I was waiting for months for MIPS to let me put the code
into gcc an binutils _after_ it was released in the first place.
Nigel: Provided Richard has no objections and I get a promise from you
to submit simulator support as soon as the description is released
(first patch should be submitted no more than a week after...) then I'll
withdraw my objection to putting the patches in on this basis. (You
still have to get them up to snuff for both Richard and I on other
fronts).
