IMHO that's really heavy-handed given that the testsuite failure
applies only to embedded PIC, which is never used on Linux.

AFAICS the embedded PIC tests shouldn't be checked for mips*-linux
targets. Maybe they should apply only for mips*-elf targets, but
I'm not sure about this. Chris, what's your opinion about this idea?
