Rather, it seems you've created a port to an OS that was not supported
before.  Very cool!

First, please read http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html .  It describes the
style and legal requirements.

Second, it seems that your changes are for 2.95.2, to accept them for the
next release, they'd need to work the current CVS sources (or snapshots,
taken from the CVS sources about once a week).

The relevant maintainer would need to approve your patches.  So, I think
the right guy to coordinate with is

mips port               Gavin Romig-Koch        gavin@cygnus.com

but if he's too busy perhaps someone else could check.  Because of the
legalities, the maintainers may want you to get your papers filed before
looking at your patches.
