GCC 4.1 looks rock solid on MIPS, with some minor issues.

This really needs to be fixed. I didn't realize just how many
packages use GHC!

The packages are:
eagle-usb_2.1.1-2
ltp_20050107-3
wmtune_1.1-1.1
svgatextmode_1.9-15
sysklogd_1.4.1-17.1
twin_0.5.1-3
twin_0.5.1-3
(Ooops, twin is listed twice... make that 6 packages ;)
Thiemo, how do I find xgot usage again? Just a simple grep for "xgot"?
Actually, you can do it yourself: gluck:~tbm/public_html/logs/gcc-4.1/
