This is where I think we're at.

*  The compiler compiles to one that runs on x86 and generates mipsel.

*  In the rtl, prt0.as assembles after a couple of fixes.

*  In the rtl, dllprt0.as is missing but I notice that on SPARC and 
several others it is empty. I've tentatively created an empty file.

*  In the rtl, cprt0.as is missing and I notice that on other targets it 
is not empty. Same applies to gprt0.as.
