Yes it does, thanks a lot for the suggestion! Patch sent.

Took me a bit to test proper operation, as contemporary cross-toolchains
create userland binaries that can no longer run on MIPS-II/III CPUs,
and native development is slow and memory-constrained (dpkg OOM)...

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
