Au contraire, my Yeeloong Laptop runs perfectly with official Debian MIPSEL binaries. However there is a problem that causes system hang when building specific packages, which can be handled by a quite aggressive patch. But I haven't encountered any crashing happens when running any programs. Maybe some Gdium specific settings is the cause, but I don't know. As the mipsn32el project has just been accepted into Debian GSoC 2009 recently, I wish efforts will result in a more Loongson-CPU-capable arch for Debian.
