The Linux kernel may be compiled in ELF only. Also, linker for
Linux/MIPS doesn't support ECOFF at all. This feature was dropped
recently because nobody really needs them. The Linux/MIPS kernel sources
contain elf2ecoff, so you may convert ELF images to ECOFF ones. (Don't
forget link your image with -N, current ld/eld2ecoff are buggy.)

You may cross compile the kernel sources on PCs.

Now to my knowlege, DECstations and Bagets. There is also a guy who
ports Linux on his R3081 based box, but I don't know the details.
