I have tested MIPS for (hard float, soft float) x (big endian, little 
endian) x (o32, n32, n64).  That's certainly not exhaustive - there are 
plenty of other variants such as whether --with-mips-plt is used in 
configuring GCC - but provides reasonable evidence that MIPS is in good 
shape.  (Similarly, I've tested ARM for (hard float ABI, soft float ABI) x 
(big endian, little endian), although the hard-float big-endian testing 
was only "hello, world" with userspace QEMU, since I don't have access to 
any big-endian ARM hardware with VFP and the last I checked QEMU didn't 
support big-endian system emulation as needed for full glibc testing.  
Again, there are lots more ARM variants such as string functions for 
different CPU variants.)
