I do not have this hardware, I just saw that some automatic builds are
failing and wanted to inform the author of that code, the build was done
by cross compiling. The Mips devices I have here are all MIPS32 R1 and
R2. Doing some buildtests with these compiler optimizations that are
causing problems here is no problem for me.
