PR61538 could use a look by some of the MIPS folks.  I don't think it affects
newer MIPS chips, but it'll definitely cause problems for anyone running old
R10K/R12K/R14K SGI gear (Origin/Onyx2/Octane).  gcc-4.7.4 is the last working
version on those platforms under Linux.  Last version I checked was a gcc-4.9.2
git checkout, and it's still affected.
