I know Decstations aren't officially supported, but...

Make defines $(MACHINE) as "mips".  Machtype returns "decmips".
This creates confusion, and as result various lockers have
decmipslib vs mipslib  and decmipsbin vs mipsbin.

This makes compiling, installing and finding software a bit difficult,
and a convention needs to be reached.
