Fixed in v2, to be posted shortly. > I hope this helps you get a general maintainer's approval. Thanks! It looks like Matthew Fortune is the MIPS port maintainer, so I'm cc'ing him on this patch. > Also your change is small enough to be acceptable right away without a > copyright assignment to FSF, however I do recommend that you make one for > GCC as well (and also glibc and possibly GDB), as I imagine you'll come up > with more changes as you progress with your effort. Good, yes, I mentioned GCC when I posted the form to the FSF. Implementing the -mfix-r5900 option is one such change. A small number of fixes related to floating point instructions, MIPS16, etc. are also needed to make GCC work with the R5900 target in a reasonable manner. > Thank you for your contribution! You are welcome! :) Fredrik
