I don't know what broken MIPS platform you've tried. I keep changing
between compiler versions all the time just so I can ensure builds with
older compilers keep working until we officially deciede to drop support
for them. So the minimum compiler version for 32-bit MIPS kernels is
gcc 3.2 and for 64-bit kernel gcc 3.3.
But for sake of sanity and productivity I definately don't mind dumping
support for gcc < 4.0 or maybe even 4.1. And while we're at it, let's
deprecate ancient binutils version as well. A minimum version of 2.17
would be nice as I could get rid of lads of .word sillyness which is
needed to support older binutils.
