[patch] mips + gcc-3.4.0 fails due to unit-at-a-time

[Dan Kegel]

Building glibc on mips with gcc-3.4.0 fails with errors like
  linuxthreads/crtn.o(.text+0x0): linuxthreads/crtn.S:20: multiple definition of `dummy'
  ...
  linuxthreads/crti.o(.init+0x28): linuxthreads/crti.S:58: undefined reference to `i_am_not_a_leaf'
  ...
unless I apply the following patch:

--- linuxthreads/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/Makefile.old  2004-05-30 18:24:41.000000000 -0700
+++ linuxthreads/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/Makefile      2004-05-30 18:28:03.000000000 -0700

  # pull in __syscall_error routine

+ifeq ($(subdir),linuxthreads)
+CFLAGS-pt-initfini.s = $(fno-unit-at-a-time)
+endif

This was stolen directly from the similar patch in CVS for x86_64.

(I'm actually building glibc-2.3.2 with a few updates from CVS,
but I did check, and it looks like glibc cvs would need this patch, too.)
