 Any version since 2.11, possibly older, should work just fine for 32-bit
MIPS.  I don't think there are any significant interface changes between
2.11 and 2.13, so if 2.13 works then 2.11 will not bail out either.  Thus
there is no need to force 2.13 for 32-bit MIPS, but I think it is
acceptable to stop caring about versions older than 2.11 in the nearby
future.
