fine, try it if you don't believe me.  Now that we have build.sh that
patch I posted or a corrected one similar to it should work really
well.

You'll probably get ``Illegal instruction'' dumps and strange
non-numeric characters in the output of programs that printf floating
point numbers, just like I did when I copied the kernel CFLAGS to
build the userland.  If I had to guess I'd say maybe it is because
there's no floating point in the kernel, but please don't latch onto
that explanation because I really have no idea.

Oddly enough Postgres will compile only _with_ -mips2 because of some
assembler code in it.  no idea if it works or not once compiled.

anyway i've got to go because my favorite daily drama _Yellow
Handkerchief_ is on TeeVee.  I can't wait to see what wacky hijinks
Ja-Young is up to today.  That girl is such a wild child.
