Do you happen to know what bits have been removed from the FSF MIPS tree ?

Is it something which affects C code as well or just any future potential
Ada port ?

The PIC32MX MCUs are also on my list of things to look at in the future
and it would be nice to be able to use the mainline FSF gcc version instead
of the Microchip branch. It would be even nicer to be able to run Ada on
them as well. :-)

Thanks,

Simon.
