These are some scratch notes of mine of different combinations of toolchains and MIPS ABIs.

All of these tests are done via the [[https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/compare/master...bsdjhb:mips_xbuild|mips_xbuild]] branch at github/bsdjhb/freebsd.git.  The current status below assumes a tree that contains all commits listed in the third table.  Additional patches may also be required as noted in the comments.

| ABI | toolchain | build world | build kernel | run world | run kernel | notes |
| O32 | gcc 4.2 | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |  |
| N32 | gcc 4.2 | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |  |
| N64 | gcc 4.2 | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |  |
| O32 | gcc 6.4 | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |  |
| N32 | gcc 6.4 | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |  |
| N64 | gcc 6.4 | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |  |
| O32 | clang 6.0.0 | ✔ | ✔ | ✘ | ✔ | Requires unmerged changes in ''%%mips_clang%%'' branch.  Use of thread-local-storage crashes (e.g. libxo in ps(1%%))%% |
| N32 | clang 6.0.0 | ✘ |  |  |  | clang doesn't pass through N32 ABI to assembler, see discussion [[https://reviews.llvm.org/D31557|here]] |
| N64 | clang 6.0.0 | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | Requires unmerged changes in ''%%mips_clang%%'' branch.  Any use of NFS triggers kernel stack overflow. |

| gcc 4.2 | make TARGET_ARCH=%%<%%abi> |  |
