Sure. Both compilers are available, with SGI's, uh, unique approach, and
with GNU's well understood assembler.

There is a chance it is from the Ultrix days (very pre-1998 afaicr). Or
is it the *only* MIPS code in our tree? If so, then it probably supports
Tatsuo's dead Cobalt server box, which is fairly recent vintage.
