I have the Creator CI20 board. Does this mean ImgTec are going to
bring out a 64 bit development board :-? I guess you won't be able
to tell me ..
No idea here, your best chance is probably following IMG's press
releases or blog
http://blog.imgtec.com/category/mips-processors
Anyway my CI20 is currently running Debian, but I'll give Fedora
a go
when I have the time.

There's no OCaml 32 bit MIPS backend upstream, but there used to be
one. An older version of it can be found here:
https://github.com/retired-camels/ocaml
Claims to support BE and LE and uses the "n32" ABI, whatever that
means. It would require a certain amount of work to bring that up to
date, but it's not impossible.
The n32 ABI is the one I would like to avoid. So we'll probably have to
go without ocaml on mips.
As far as I can tell there is no 64 bit MIPS backend at all and
never
has been. Depending on how different 32 bit and 64 bit MIPS are that
might be a lot of work to implement.

Thanks for your interest.
