I should have stated that I know little of MIPS arch. I do
not know the differences, subtle  or published between the
M14K and the Mips32 (vanilla() cores. I mostly asked because
I know of several folks that are looking for some form of
open source embedded linux for the Microchip 32 bit
processors. Since you indicate that it should work, I'll
send  these folks to your links.
