Please just include your ChangeLog next time. No need for diff on

I'd like this patch. I never understood why Linux/MIPS was configured
with the MIPS/ELF target for IRIX. As far as I know, Linux/MIPS is just
another ELF arch. The glibc only supports the MIPS SVR4 ABI, not the
IRIX ABI. Can we check it in?

Thanks.
