Given the earlier approvals, I think this is ok.  Please check it in.
If there are lingering problems, we can fix them.

By this, I assume you mean that after your patch, Ada continues to work,
but still uses DW_AT_MIPS_linkage_name; and that you have a follow-on
patch that is incomplete but which attempts to remove the reliance on
DW_AT_MIPS_linkage_name?
