I made this point many months ago.  I don't think that there are 
interesting Linux MIPS binaries.

Qobalt shipped MIPs based Linux boxes several years ago, so you could run 
those binaries.  However, those binaries are likely not interesting as 
they are old and outdated anyway.

Really, the question is what Linux MIPs binaries exist *that don't have 
source* that can't be recompiled into a native NetBSD binary?

I can't think of any.

This *may* change in the future as Linux MIPs support is being actively 
worked on and updated with recent 2.4/2.5 kernels.
