Hmm... Sorry if this may be too naive, since I have no expertise on
MIPS, but I see some triples that match the LLVM ones you specify in
the patch:

    rustc --print target-list | grep mips

I guess you mean you are getting the warning about the
unknown/unstable feature passed to the backend? i.e. `rustc` knows
about those LLVM ones and forwards them when enabled via
`-Ctarget-feature` (with a warning):

    rustc --target mips64-unknown-linux-gnuabi64 --print target-features

So they would need to be added to the list at [1] (or targeted flags created).

Until those do not emit a warning, it is fine using the `target.json`,
but I wanted to understand if there is something else you may need,
since we will need to eventually avoid the `target.json`, so it is
best asking upstream as soon as possible.

Thanks!
