My Linux binutils has 2 mips patches. binutils-mips64.patch is based on
a patch in binutils-2.10.91-1.src.rpm made by Maciej W. Rozycki. It
provides support for n32 and 64. Since I only use o32, I cannot say if
it really works or not. gas-mips.patch is a patch to fix the first
patch. For the reason I cannot explain, I need binutils-mips64.patch
to get a reliable 32bit Linux mips kernel. I am expecting Thiemo will
make n32 and 64 to work.
