I have a company that wishes to convert their compiler to MIPs hardware.  
The product is mostly coded in C, except for the Code Generator which is
in assembly code (they do native implementations).  They are now converting
80386 assembly routines to 4000 assembly code.  I suggested that maybe they 
could use the MIPs Code Generator, assuming that it is modular and is
accessible by a third-party compiler writer.

I have been trying to get documentation regarding this MIPs Code Generator,
but have had little luck.  Can anyone help me get information on this 
product or tool?  Is there such a thing at all?  Would it help in the above
situation or am I out in left field?
