Loongson is the chinese mips. They took the license from sgi, it have an extended instruction set (mmx like) and some other instructions vary from the original specs (in fact they changed their own extension from loongson2e to loongson2f).

I have 3 mips boxes at home and each one has its own abi. Maybe a hello world works, but not much more.
