Fixed in v2, to be posted shortly.

Thanks! It looks like Matthew Fortune is the MIPS port maintainer, so I'm
cc'ing him on this patch.

Good, yes, I mentioned GCC when I posted the form to the FSF. Implementing
the -mfix-r5900 option is one such change. A small number of fixes related
to floating point instructions, MIPS16, etc. are also needed to make GCC
work with the R5900 target in a reasonable manner.

You are welcome! :)
