Hi Tony - The mips porting activity is moving forward, and we are making good progress. The mips code in the google v8 repository is quite old, and is not functional.
We are maintaining the project separately here (http://github.com/ paul99/v8mips) until things are complete enough to restart the code submission process back to the google v8 team. I think we are getting close to that time. Please look at the wiki area for build instructions and project status. I would say we are not quite ready for prime-time yet, but you are welcome to pull and try the code, and to contribute.... We still do not have 100% test compliance, and our benchmark performance is good but not great. We are running v8 in the Android browser on mips platforms. Details are on the project status wiki. Our biggest issue at this time is that our code was last rebased with google's 4 months ago, so we are quite far behind their progress. For better or worse, we made the decision to stay with a stable v8 core until we had the mips arch working. We did not expect it to take this long :-) So I will be starting to rebase our code next week. With 4 months of changes from google, it will likely take us at least 2-3 weeks to get things running again.
