Hi,

Hopefully Ralf and I can manage to get the
rest of the RTEMS diff submitted quickly.

This one is small but needed because mips/rtems
is always built with -G0.  The setting of this
attribute results in the impure_ptr always being
in .sdata and somewhat randomly we get application
link failures on the mips.

I think this is the least invasive way to do this.
But alternatives always welcomed.

   * libc/include/sys/config.h: Do not use .sdata
   for impure_ptr on mips-rtems.

Hi Joel,

I recently checked in Ralf's patch which fixed this problem slightly differently. I like this way a little better so I will change it over.
