This patch improves the error message that is displayed if an assembly
language routine tries to use an invalid jump instruction to change modes.
Thanks for doing this. I agree the current message is poor, and your
patch is definitely an improvement.
As an alternative, what do you think about:
Jumps between ISA modes must be performed by JAL or JALX.
or:
Direct jumps between ISA modes are not allowed.
In either case you could add:
; consider recompiling with interlinking enabled
or (if we don't mind the MIPS16 reference):
; consider recompiling with -minterlink-mips16
The patch is OK with any of these changes, or as it stands.
