OK, thanks. So I was able to compile using the instruction but the
resulting program is a dud:

    $ ./test.exe
    -bash: ./test.exe: No such file or directory

The file is present, its executable, its mips64, etc.

Running with LD_DEBUG=all it looks like binaries from different
runtimes are being used together. For example, the first linked
library loaded is libtinfo and it was built with a different runtime.
This is not surprising and probably causing the unusual result. I
think this is probably a dead end.

Let me send a request to cfarm-admins to see if someone who is
experienced has time to build a compiler.

Thanks again for the help.
