Historical accident, as much as anything.
There was a MIPS platform before (IRIX). The SC seemed to agree that
IRIX was no longer a major focus, but wanted to keep a MIPS platform.
I certainly have no objection to adding arm-none-elf to the primary
platform lists; it seems like a good idea to me. Would you like to ask
the SC directly, or would you prefer that I do it?
