There are only two outstanding blocking issues that don’t have patches proposed, PR 21568 & PR 23947. I would greatly appreciate if someone who works on Mips would take a look at PR 23947.

Your patch and mine do very different things, and I’m not very picky about how this gets handled because I mostly care about Darwin. My patch reworks construction of the output file names so that they match autoconf (libLLVM-3.8.0svn.so as opposed to libLLVM.so.3.8.0svn). Your patches make the versions and library name configurable. Not sure if they both meet the same need.

I’m not really picky about how the problem is solved as long as it is solved.
