Hate to break the chain of success stories, but ...

Looks like "Configure" now determines (correctly) that I'm a MIPS
using the BSD environment.  However, there are quite a few problems.
It scans the SYSV libc.a to find symbols, so things like bcopy aren't
found.  I beat on it for a few hours, but didn't get a successful
build out of it.  I don't have time to work on it anymore right
now, so I'll have to send you the changes after the beta period
is over.
