Ok.

Ok.
Please refer to https://github.com/JaydeepIMG/musl-1 for MIPS64 N64 port. 
I have created mips64port_v3 branch (patch attached) to address the review comments.

You can credit it to Imagination Technologies.
Could you please commit it with "Mahesh Bodapati and Jaydeep Patil" in the message?
