Configuration files exist for the Sony News system for GCC, though
recently, it's been pointed out to me that the released files were
wrong.  I have updated the GCC 2.00 tree with a fixed version.  My
next update of the OSF patches to 1.39 which provide full debug
support and some optimizations will also include them.  I suspect they
may need more tuning.  I suspect the switch 'SYSTYPE_BSD' may or may
not be desirable (the MIPS OS port uses these, I don't know what other
MIPS vendors do).  I wonder also whether we should drop the -I line in
CPP_SPEC, and what form of the predefined macros Sony uses for -ansi
mode.

As to G++ support, there are mixed reports of it working on MIPS
platforms.  I myself do not run G++ here, and the last time somebody
ported my patches to G++ was in the 1.37.2 timeframe.

GCC/G++ 2.00 should be better, though debugging with the ECOFF format
may present some challenges.

Here is the config/tm-mips-news.h file from my 1.39 source tree:
