building for mips

Hi all!

I am referring to issue #1032. I am building io.js 1.7.1 for mips and get following error:

../deps/v8/src/base/logging.cc:9:23: fatal error: execinfo.h: No such file or directory

Applying following patch to v8 solved my problem:

https://codereview.chromium.org/1066573005/patch/1/10001

May I request to include the patch into the next version?

Many thanks for your work on io.js

I'd be +1 on floating a patch for this, but only as a backport from what's in V8 and the status of this patch appears to be in question:

I'm on the fence about reintroducing this, as it's not actually used anywhere in the code.
It's main purpose is to stop uClibc from pretending to be glibc, which could also be done
by changing the V8_LIBC_GLIBC check to:

#elif (defined(__GLIBC__) || defined(__GNU_LIBRARY__)) && !defined(__UCLIBC__)

looking at https://github.com/v8/v8-git-mirror/blob/master/include/ it was accepted in master

Seems to have landed in v8 4.4.x. How far is that from a stable release?

I think we can just cherry-pick it, see #1974.

I'm nowhere close to a MIPS box but yeah, we're getting this sooner or later through V8.
