I think this little tidbit is historical -- the mips-elf ports inherited
some braindamage from irix.
Interestingly enough Jason Merrill and I have been discussing ways to
fix this problem. It looks like these patches take a step in that
direction. I'm willing jump in after they're installed and try to
make the mips-elf cross targets work.

I saw nothing for Ralf on file. These are significant enough that we
would need a copyright assignment and possibly a disclaimer from
Ralf's employer.
A note -- instead of checking TARGET_LONG64 to find out the size of
a pointer, look at Pmode's or POINTER_SIZE instead.
