Please no ;)  I think the worst thing we can do is build yet
more hacks on top of what we already have.  The mips reloc code
is hairy enough as it is.

Hmm.  I see you're responding to my first message.  As I said
in a follow-up, I think we should stop gcc splitting the jal
macro in final.  Sound reasonable?
