At present there are many other cases where the configure triplet for 
glibc may need to be different from that for GCC; you can have multilib 
configurations for IA32 and x86_64 GNU/Linux but need to use the 
appropriate triplet for glibc, and likewise on Power and SPARC, to give a 
few examples.  Do we want to allow all these variants in EGLIBC?  On the 
whole I think there are too many triplets and it would be better just to 
use mips- as the machine name with appropriate configure options.
