MIPS16 text labels

[Fu, Chao-Ying]

Hi All,

  The MIPS16 text labels are stored as odd addresses in "tc-mips.c".
Does anyone know the reason of storing odd addresses?
I tried to comment out code that makes odd addresses,
and all tests still pass on mipsisa32r2-sde-elfoabi and mips-linux
targets.  Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Chao-ying
