Understood. That is why I didn't even mention it until I saw you want
to do the same :-).

Could you please do that for me? I really appreciate it.
BTW, my Linux mips toolchain also has a patch to fix the infamous mips
gas relocation bug. The approach I took, as I understood, was not
acceptable to mainline sources. But it works for me. Here is the
"make check" result of my current Linux mips toolchain, which has
binutils 2.11.90.0.19 and a gcc based on gcc 2.96-88 from RedHat
rawhide.
