But again - I tried to run this discussion again and again - As long
as there is no code to use there is no point in taking a discussion.
I needed a working sysmips for debian as we compile the glibc with
sysmips (performance penalty but for now works everywhere) thus
i fixed the sysmips.

Let the code speak
