 Hmm, may I speak for myself, please?

 Anyway, I understand our implementation differs from what IRIX does, but
I am not that hasty fixing it, either.  IOW, if someone writes ld and
ld.so code that works for both interpretations, I won't object.

 You know there are no R_MIPS_REL64 relocs, do you?  They used to be
defined initially, but then they were obsoleted by composed relocations. 
At least the ABI is clear here.
