Please reenable GCJ on mips



I notice that GCJ (& company) are not built on mips or mipsel.
What I can't figure out is why.

GCJ is supported for mips*-*-linux* (except for mips64*-*-linux*, which
is not supported) upstream in the 4.0 series, and I couldn't find any
reported bugs on problems specific to it.

GCJ was orginially disabled for mips way back when gcc 3.0 was uploaded in
2001 because libffi was not ported to mips.  It has been ported to mips/mipsel
long, long ago by now (and is in fact supplied on mips in the current packages.)

Matthias, could you please reenable building of GCJ et al on mips, unless you
know something I don't?

This would probably make kaffe work on mipsel automatically as well (and
allow it to work with ecj on mips).  Cc:ing pkg-java-maintainers in case they'd
like to switch kaffe back to ecj on mips.
