emerging ORBit on mips fails with a report that config.guess is outdated, and that it could not detect the build-system. Replacing all three instances of config.guess with the one from SDL-image-1.2.3 appears to solve the problem (Makefiles are created, since I'm not done building there might be other problems).

Actually, this needs the gnuconfig eclass, which replaces config.guess and config.sub with newer versions, which should detect mips systems properly. I just put a change into CVS for this, give it a run and let me know if it works.
Gonna assume this fix worked. Please re-open if this is not the case.
