hmm okay. But this depedency is not really nice IMHO...

Something weird is that if you do this on top of your patch, it seems to work:

diff --git a/arch/mips/Makefile b/arch/mips/Makefile
index 5aa0f41..04a57f9 100644
--- a/arch/mips/Makefile
+++ b/arch/mips/Makefile
@@ -713,7 +713,7 @@ ifdef CONFIG_MIPS32_O32
       $(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=. missing-syscalls EXTRA_CFLAGS="-mabi=32"
endif

-archprepare: arch-missing-syscalls
+prepare0: arch-missing-syscalls

archclean:
       @$(MAKE) $(clean)=arch/mips/boot

It seems that we can't rely on the order of the execution of megerd
prerequisites...
