This case is special: it is an a.out backend for mipsel, intended to read
pmax kernels.  I don't think mipseb has an equivalent (the a.out magic
number in question here is M_NETBSD_PMAX).

No.  It's my own blunder, and I intend to fix it (I forgot to commit some
changes).  The fact that mipselnetbsd.c exists is quite deliberate.
