I am a mere user and no authority at all, but my understanding is that
now mahler is down the MIPS port is dependent on individual
developers/packagers having access to/maintaining their own machines.

It would be a shame if packagers abandoned MIPS for lack of hardware
for debugging ... Does anyone know if replacement/repair of mahler is
on anyones to do list?

In the meantime, depending on how much hand-holding you're willing to
do, I (or others on the list) might be able to help with testing on
one of my SGI Indys.
