Bug report

Bug description:

#include <Python.h>

When built on a MIPS architecture, _MIPS_SIM is used to determine architecture specifics. The value is expected to match either _ABIO32, _ABIN32 or _ABI64.

In gcc config/mips/mips.h these values are defined as compiler builtin_define inside of a switch/case. That means, mips64el and mips64 architectures know about _ABI64 but don't know about _ABIO32 and _ABIN32. In turn, when CPython tries to use them in comparison, they may be undefined identifiers.

In default compiler behavior, the undefined identifier will be evaluated as zero, and it will not match _MIPS_SIM. However, the issues pop up when -Wundef (or, even worse, -Werror=undef) compiler flag is enabled. Then suddenly it's visible as a warning or error:

In file included from /usr/include/python3.13/Python.h:14,
                 from example.c:1:
/usr/include/python3.13/pyconfig.h:59:20: error: "_ABIO32" is not defined, evaluates to 0 [-Werror=undef]
   59 | #  if _MIPS_SIM == _ABIO32
      |                    ^~~~~~~
/usr/include/python3.13/pyconfig.h:61:22: error: "_ABIN32" is not defined, evaluates to 0 [-Werror=undef]
   61 | #  elif _MIPS_SIM == _ABIN32
      |                      ^~~~~~~

When built on a MIPS architecture, `_MIPS_SIM` is used to determine
architecture specifics. The value is expected to match either
`_ABIO32`, `_ABIN32` or `_ABI64`.

In `gcc` config/mips/mips.h these values are defined as compiler
`builtin_define` inside of a switch/case. That means, mips64el and
mips64 architectures know about `_ABI64` but don't know about `_ABIO32`
and `_ABIN32`. In turn, when CPython tries to use them in comparison,
they may be undefined identifiers.

In default compiler behavior, the undefined identifier will be
evaluated as zero, and it will not match `_MIPS_SIM`. However, the
issues pop up when `-Wundef` (or, even worse, `-Werror=undef`) compiler
flag is enabled. Then suddenly it's visible as a warning or error.

This should be added to Platform: MIPS on Unsupported platforms board.
