I've got an SGI Indy R5k in working shape. Currently installed is an
n32 userland and kernel, so GENERIC64_32_IP2x should do it, and -m
sgimips64 for userland stuff.

I should probably dust off the gdium too, that one would be
evbmips/LOONGSON, evbmips64el. May need -mcpu=loongson2f ( or -mips3 )
for userland code, I'm not sure which MIPS variety is the default these
days.

have fun
