Exactly to say, the target is neither mips-elf nor mips-linux-gnu. I just use mips-elf as the start. It's a new target with little endian and own ISA.We need to port binutils and gcc and also library.
For a port then yes *-elf is easier to start, especially if you're planning on going for an elf based operating system.
What about the mips port made you decide that you wanted to use that as a guideline?
