It is testable independently.  Also, I posted the glibc bits last week.

Of course.  It doesn't.  The only thing it could possibly break would
be four-argument clone (it's supposed to be five argument, and the
missing argument conventionally goes in the middle... oops).  But
I strongly believe nothing is yet using the four-argument form so I
synced MIPS with the rest of the world.

GCC support was committed two weeks ago, BTW.
