I did report a few mips/mipsel issue to upstream binutils and gcc, and they have all been solved. I am not aware of any reported mips/mipsel binutils or gcc-4.{6,7,8} problem reported in the debian BTS, except #710683, which is recent and I haven't investigated it yet (but is likely an OOM issue on the buildd).

This is true that they have recently contacted me through another email address, but I haven't found time to work on that.
