Ah, I wasn't clear about that and thanks for pointing it out.
My main reason is that you can build the combo in one swoop, without the
need of staging packages like mips64-elf-gcc-stage1 in AUR. And the
packages really belong together. I don't quite see the reason for having
them in seperate packages as long as they all depend on each other.
