This proposal little patch allows configuration triplet to be mipsisa64*

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.
