Apparently, mips64el-linux-gnu-n64-nan2008-soft and other MIPS targets
do not use sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/wordsize-64. Is this an oversight,
or is there a deeper reason for that?
Thanks,
Florian

Historically, sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/wordsize-64 assumed that struct stat
and struct stat64 had the same layout, which is not the case for MIPS n64.
It's possible that all such assumptions that are untrue for n64 have now
been factored out so this is no longer an issue.
