Can you give an example?  The only use I know was Linux (and BSD?)
kernel images for the boot firmware, and I don't think that the
mips-ecoff target is used for that any more.  I could be mistaken.

Aha, Linux uses OUTPUT_FORMAT("ecoff-littlemips").  So we can't remove
the ecoff support, but might be able to remove the mips-ecoff target
itself.
