Probably nobody noticed so far; posix0's mips64 installation has a small
utility named mips32 which makes uname -m return mips, not mips64 for
it's subprocesses.  This is required for many programs whicha are based
on autoconf; a returned value of mips64 would make them guess they're
running on a mips64-unknown-linux-gnu system - which would confuse the
build process hopelessly.  So for buildin apps it may be a good idea
to login and do this:

  exec mips32 $SHELL

The tool is derived by sed'ing the sparc32 package; for more information
see mips32(1).
