>Description:
I'm doing a lot of Free Software test builds (http://toolchain.lug-owl.de/) and recently, all?/most? MIPS builds for NetBSD (cross-builds from Linux and builds from within a amd64 NetBSD system) fail:

>How-To-Repeat:
Use any recent HEAD commit (I'm fetching via GIT, should work equally via CVS of course) and build on a NetBSD or Linux box as outlined above.

PMAX is only one of many here. These all fail with similar diagnostics:

algor-mips64el
algor-mipsel
arc-mipsel
cobalt-mipsel
emips-mipseb
evbmips-mipseb
evbmips-mipsel
ews4800mips-mipseb
hpcmips-mipsel
mipsco-mipseb
newsmips-mipseb
playstation2-mipsel
pmax-mipsel
sbmips-mipseb
sbmips-mipsel
sgimips-mipseb

Other compiler issues:

arc-mips64el      ("Fatal error: selected target format 'elf32-ntradlittlemips' unknown" while building libc's CSU code)
cobalt-mips64el   (ditto)
evbmips-mips64el  (ditto)
pmax-mips64el     (ditto)
sbmips-mips64el   (ditto)

evbmips-mipsn64eb ("Fatal error: selected target format 'elf32-ntradbigmips' unknown" while building libc's CSU code)
evbmips-mips64eb  (ditto)
sbmips-mips64eb   (ditto)
sgimips-mips64eb  (ditto)

evbmips-mipsn64el ("error: unknown type name 'bool'")
>Fix:
If it helps, I'd try to bisect between last-known-working and first-broken, but I guess it was a Binutils import and some configury option went missing (or needs to be supplied right now.)
