Seeing as how LoongArch is essentially a fork of MIPS64r6 it wouldn't surprise me if most of the existing MIPS toolchains worked with little modification. This is a Linux ecosystem they're using after all.

These chips are like the great-great grandchildren of the same ones you'd find in older routers.
