If it's a workaround it should be branch only. I was considering the
possibility of making mips1/2 set gp32 and mips3/4 set gp64 (unless
otherwise overridden).

This still screams of a hack to me, but will give the most backwards
compatibility for people doing things like:

-march=foo -mipsX

-eric
