May I can help or take part into the re-written, could you talk more
on the goals to re-write?

I think this checking could be added into Makefile,

  $ xsltproc --xinclude --nonet --output path/to/sources/mips64.md5sum \
      stylesheets/md5sum.xsl materials/${ARCH}-chapter.xml
  $ cd path/to/sources/
  $ md5sum -c ${ARCH}.md5sum

BTW, You seem to forget "reply to all", I re-added them all.
