Found it - It was the day before yesterday, at least in binutils' list
archive ;)

Unfortunately his patch doesn't seem to help me:

Using a brand new binutils built from a freshly checked out
binutils-2.14-branch with Maciej's patch applied:

# mips-rtems4.7-as  -G0 -EB -mips1 -g0 -32 -v -o mipsbug.o mipsbug.s
GNU assembler version 2.14 (mips-rtems4.7) using BFD version 2.14 20030910
mipsbug.s: Assembler messages:
mipsbug.s:1: Error: load/store address overflow (max 32 bits)
