Wow. Very interesting

It currently lacks support of segmented stacks and the runtime support is
buggy. For a simple hello world program, it prints string and then
segfaults. I am still trying to fix the problem.

The MIPS O32 ABI implementation is translated from clang's.

Awesome! What OS/processor are you testing with?

CPU is MIPS 34Kc and OS is Linux 2.6.36

Sorry this is taking so long to merge. The llvm rebuild of adding a new backend will cause some disruption for developers and the bots so I'm waiting for a good moment for that. Right now I'm thinking I'll merge this weekend.

I didn't do this last week because the tree was not green. I know, so many excuses. This weekend, perhaps? Time will tell.

I have a rebased branch here

Merged.
