Ahh...  /usr/include/machine/param.h defines MACHINE_ARCH to be
"mipsel," and xlint.c has the following line:

#ifdef MACHINE_ARCH
	if (strcmp(un.machine, MACHINE_ARCH) != 0) {
		appdef(&cppflags, MACHINE_ARCH);
		appstrg(&lcppflgs, concat2("-D", MACHINE_ARCH));
	}
#endif

which means that "mipsel" and not "mips" gets passed by xlint to cpp...

so looks like the fix is to special case mipse{l,b} in xlint.c, right?

I should go to sleep... :)
