    If bug reports (unofficial and on wrong maillist) are wished, the
attachment contains one coming from China...

    I tried the binutils-2.13.2.1 sources for 'mips-wince-pe' and met the
same bug and a short study told that wrapping this member in the MIPS
pseudo-op table could fix it:

------------- clip -----------------------------
static const pseudo_typeS mips_pseudo_table[] =
{
     /* MIPS specific pseudo-ops.  */

<snip>

      {"word", s_cons, 2},
#ifndef NO_ECOFF_DEBUGGING
     { "extern", ecoff_directive_extern, 0},
#endif
     { NULL, NULL, 0 },
};
------------- clip -----------------------------

    I couldn't easily produce a diff just now, so this was taken from
the fixed 'gas/config/tc-mips.c'. Surprisingly Wreckor didn't mention
the bug and the fix made for it...

   Of couse the 'mips-wince-pe', 'mips-mingw32' etc. possible targets
with the MIPS/PE format have very minimal or zero support in the GCC
sources, but this is a separate issue.

    I really don't care but there can be others like Wreckor who do care
about the 'mips-pe' support and post to some list, not necessarily to
the right one...

Cheers, Kai
