Thanks a lot! I'll upload it as part of 4.3.0-3 immediately after
gcc-4.3 4.3.0-3.

Yes, there is a reason but it's a very bad one: lack of time to engage
into the copyright-assignment procedure. The author of the mips
support, Xavier Grave, is an occasional contributor to the Debian
packages and has never contributed to GCC yet (CCing him).
As a first step, since he now has a little time available, I've asked
him to separate the mips support into a patch independent of ada-sjlj.
That should make future submission to upstream easier.
