 Is it really needed to remove ecoff-littlemips and ecoff-bigmips targets
from the list of default ones for MIPS/Linux?  COFF is the format used by
the firmware of certain MIPS-based machines for network-booting, certainly
by DECstations and I'm told that older SGI workstations use this format,
too.  While the elf2ecoff tool as bundled with the kernel seem to be
sufficient to prepare a suitable COFF image, it's grossly limited in
functionality and was added only as a workaround to bugs in binutils.
