commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=4daac8b973d3b99eb916949ed57a3704afa42c69
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master
This toollchain is almost 10 years old now, and not maintained anymore.
Let's therefore remove it from Buildroot. Newer maintained external
toolchains for MIPS are still available from Bootlin
