Are you using the llvm-gcc top-of-tree(TOT) ? the TOT contains mips crosscompile
support, btw, you wont be able to pass through libgcc fp compile, which is what
I'm working right now.
What I suggest is that you begin the cross-compilation using llvm-gcc TOT, and
when it breaks, use cc1 directly to emit llvm bytecode specific for mips. Then,
use llc.
If you have doubts, just ask :)
