Dear Shinya,

I think we need your help with the current MIPS code; it seems that
this commit is causing problems:

        commit 22069215eb7adf5a3888bf7c7784ea9d70a72cd0
        Author: Shinya Kuribayashi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

            [MIPS] Fix $gp usage

The issue is with "cpu/mips/start.S"; with older toolchains (like ELDK
3.1.1 which uses binutils 2.14, we get:

        start.S: Assembler messages:
        start.S:348: Error: relocation out of range
        make[1]: *** [start.o] Error 1

With ELDK 4.0 and 4.1 (binutils 2.16.1) we get no erros, but these
warnigns:

        cache.S: Assembler messages:
        cache.S:243: Warning: Pretending global symbol used as branch target is 
local.
        cache.S:250: Warning: Pretending global symbol used as branch target is 
local.

Jean-Christophe Plagniol-Villard reports that he sees no problems (no
errors nor warnings) with binutils 2.18


I wonder if it was possible to come up with a version of the code
that builds with somewhat older versions of the toolchains, too?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
