I had this discussion with Ralf. He had reasons to not remove this
file altogether. Perhaps some input from him would be prudent. Ralf?!

As far as the versions for binutils:

   HJLu binutils-2.11.90.0.5 or greater
   CVS binutils
   binutils 2.11.1? (I'm not sure what the next release number is)

For the correct ld emulation, I assume you mean make changes in glibc
to check for the proper target 'elf[32|64]trad[little|big]mips'?
