 Please do.

 The only reason I can think of why the patterns are such as they are is 
that they need to match the output as it has been produced.  It made no 
sense to make whitespace matching optional when said whitespace is always 
there.

 Of course I could have investigated why this extraneous whitespace is 
present there in the first place, but either I chose it wasn't worth it or 
I missed it in the eyeball review of the output produced; there are only 
two among 133 lines and not key to the purpose of the test case.  It's 
been a while, I genuinely do not remember.

 Thank you for making this clean-up, and taking care of the MIPS port in 
particular.
