Hmm, the relevant ChangeLog entry is:
2000-10-16 Chris Demetriou <cgd@sibyte.com>
* mips.h (E_MIPS_ARCH_32): New constant.
(E_MIPS_MACH_MIPS32, E_MIPS_MACH_MIPS32_4K): Replace the
former with the latter.
* mips.h (E_MIPS_ARCH_5, E_MIPS_ARCH_64): New definitions.
* mips.h (E_MIPS_MACH_SB1): New constant.
Patches went in with two commits on Dec 1st and 2nd, 2000:
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/include/elf/mips.h.diff?r1=1.8&r2=1.9&cvsroot=src
