base_machine *is* used, to set base-machine in config.make.  But the only 
things that's used for now are (mach/Makefile for powerpc and) libc-abis 
handling (regarding which see 
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00375.html>) - and 
whatever the libc-abis handling does or does not work for, there is no use 
in a special setting of base_machine for mips64; just setting to mips for 
all MIPS cases seems most appropriate and consistent with other 
architectures.
