[M3devel] adding new target?

Hi all:
Does this MIPS have MMU-less chip, meaning, there are embedded linuses that run it:

This is a must in terms of addresanility, besides others like the endianess
or sort for DS3100, etc re-configurable (weel not in hot but at driver level, like in SPARC:

).

At the bottom of this and newer SMp there are issues as in Intel, that might be need to be put in consideration for gcc or so:

I don't know maybe that gcc for gnu/m3 was not a bad idea at all (fsf isn't helping that as well too much):

Thanks in advance
