[fpc-pascal] can someone please email me a zipped hello world binary program MIPS big endian for testing on my MIPS hardware?

Apologies for the lousy threading but our gateway drops some messages.

Michael: Curious thing is that those binaries definitely ran here So 
there's either something very odd with Qemu/Debian, or with OpenWRT- and 
I know where I'd put my money.

Dennis: Transfer the binary back off the OpenWRT system to a development 
system, being very careful to track the file to avoid any possible 
confusion, and apply cksum to it to make sure it's not been corrupted in 
transit. Then transfer any other binary (e.g. /bin/sh) off the OpenWRT 
system and apply  file  to it, to see how it's described. Also listen to 
Michael and others since they've done far more recent work on this than 
I have, and if necessary take the trouble of getting more of the 
toolchain onto the target system.
