Hi,

I have been using the scratchbox2
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/sbox2toolchain to cross-translate
PyPy for ARM targeting the Ubuntu ARM port.
There is bit of documentation about using it in the ARM branch at
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/src/arm-backend-2/pypy/doc/arm.rst
Maybe the information there is helpful for MIPS.

Greetings,

David
