I am using mipsel-linux: linux 2.3.99-pre6, glibc 2.1.90. While support
for it is not yet included in gdb, I have a few patches that make it work
very well for me. I sent a few of them here yesterday. The two remaining
ones are bfd/opcodes updates by Ulf Carlsson, which I believe are already
applied to the main binutils tree, and a port of MIPS/Linux specific
changes that are currently available from oss.sgi.com (and reflect H.J.
Lu's gdb 4.17.0.11). I'm contacting authors of these changes; if no one
responds, I'll submit this patch myself.
I've seen it may also affect arm and m68k, at least.

OK, I'll see how I can update the patch.
