 Scratch it, I got the MIPS and the Alpha port confused here, sorry.  I 
guess ETOOMANYCONTEXTS happened here.

 I won't upgrade the MIPS compiler beyond GCC 13, because soon afterwards
a new port maintainer was appointed by the GCC Steering Committee despite 
my objection and shortly changes started being fast-tracked to the port 
without proper review, so I don't trust the MIPS compiler anymore.  I can 
upgrade to the GCC 13 branch though and report back.
