  This is also one binutils release behind.

  Having the Lemote patch would help. :-) Does this effect any of the
other build farm machines ? GCC 4.4 that just came out also has a bunch
of MIPS bug fixes we probably want too. What about having a directory
NFS mounted to all the builds machines that could host toolchains that
should be used on all machines ? I'd be willing to help hack on
toolchains builds.
