I cross-compile for MIPS on my SparcStation all the time. I do not 
attempt to run the code on an SGI machine, since 1) I don't have one, 
and 2) my interest is more in embedded applications anyway. There are 
others on the list who cross compile to MIPS, as well.

GCC certainly supports cross compiling from Sparc to MIPS as a 
standard configuration option. If you follow the instructions on how 
to build a cross compiler (from the FAQ), you shouldn't have too much 
trouble. I would, of course, be glad to assist by answering any 
questions you have.
