C to MIPS

How do I use GCC (or something else) to compile C into MIPS assembly?

I've tried all kinds of options with all kinds of values and I can't figure anything out. I also can't find any information on the web besides a few people asking questions that don't get answered.

Also, read this http://gcc.gnu.org/install/ about how to configure, build and install gcc for a specific platform. If you're working on an x86 system, you'll need to build a cross-compiler. Which means you won't be able to 3-stage bootstrap etc etc rtfm etc.
