Thanks for the detailed report. You've managed to find a combination
of tools I didn't test. The combinatorial effect of tools on this change
was a nightmare; apologies for missing some all the same.

I've posted a patch for this. We do not need the PT_MIPS_ABIFLAGS
injecting if it was not there before and this case is handled for
most situations as it is based on the presence of .MIPS.abiflags.

Details on this are in the patch submission which I've CC'd you on.

Thanks,
Matthew
