 Please make sure you've actually rebuilt gas:

$ cat mipsbug.s
	sw	$8,0xfffe0130
$ mips-linux-as -G0 -EB -mips1 -g0 -32 -v -o mipsbug.o mipsbug.s
GNU assembler version 2.14 (mips-linux) using BFD version 2.14 20030612
$ mips-linux-objdump -Sr mipsbug.o

mipsbug.o:     file format elf32-tradbigmips

Disassembly of section .text:

00000000 <.text>:
   0:	3c01fffe 	lui	at,0xfffe
   4:	ac280130 	sw	t0,304(at)
	...
$ as-new -G0 -EB -mips1 -g0 -32 -v -o mipsbug.o mipsbug.s
GNU assembler version 2.14.90 (mips-rtems4.7) using BFD version 2.14.90 20030910
$ objdump -Sr mipsbug.o

mipsbug.o:     file format elf32-bigmips

Disassembly of section .text:

00000000 <.text>:
   0:	3c01fffe 	lui	at,0xfffe
   4:	ac280130 	sw	t0,304(at)
	...

 IOW, it works for me. :-)
