Re: MIPS gas relaxation still doesn't work

Sounds like you're suggesting gcc should leave gas to fill delay slots?

gcc is usually much better at filling delay slots than gas is.  gas just
looks at the previous instruction to see if it's suitable.  gcc can pull
pull instructions from the branch target instead.
