As the original author of mips-tfile and a global write maintainer, the
patches are ok. In general I would worry about the cross compiler
issue, but in this case, that is unlikely to be an issue (maybe we
should put an explicit cross compiler check in). It is amazing that a
hack that I wrote in 1990 to solve a short term problem (using the MIPS
assembler to smuggle debug information until we could switch over to
using GAS) has survived a change in architecture.
