[Patch, mips] Fix compiler abort with -mips32r2 -mips16 -msynci


While working on my favorite mips option (-msynci) I noticed an odd thing.
If I compile with '-mips32 -mips16 -msynci' I got a warning about synci not
being supported but if I compiled with '-mips32r2 -mips16 -msynci' I did not
get a warning, even though -mips16 mode does not support synci.  Furthermore
if I compiled a program that called __builtin___clear_cache with '-mips32r2
-mips16 -msynci', the compiler would abort.

In mips.h we have:

/* ISA includes synci, jr.hb and jalr.hb.  */
#define ISA_HAS_SYNCI ((ISA_MIPS32R2            \
                        || ISA_MIPS64R2)        \
                       && !TARGET_MIPS16)

What I found was that in mips_option_override, where we check this macro
to generate the warning we have this code at the front of the function:

  /* Process flags as though we were generating non-MIPS16 code.  */
  mips_base_mips16 = TARGET_MIPS16;
  target_flags &= ~MASK_MIPS16;

Then later, we check ISA_HAS_SYNCI, but at that point TARGET_MIPS16 is
always false because of the above lines.

I looked at changing ISA_HAS_SYNCI to use target_flag_explicit but that
seems like the wrong thing to do for the use of ISA_HAS_SYNCI in mips.md.
Then I modified the if statement in mips_option_override but that resulted
in the use of 'mips32r2 -mips16 -msynci' giving an odd warning message:

warning: the âmips32r2â architecture does not support the synci instruction

But of course mips32r2 does support synci, it is -mips16 that does not.  So I
added a new if statement with an explicit check against mips_base_mips16 to
give a better warning.

OK to checkin?
