I've invested some time into adding the mips64(el) backend. It gets
quite far (xgcc seems to be fine), but then our ld takes a dump:

Others have run into this, and it's possibly fixed in newer binutils,
but I have not been able to make sense of the BFD guts enough to fix ld.
Question is, should I commit this in its current form so others can try
their luck? I'm pretty sure this patch is 95% there.
Yes, please.
Seconded. It's a known bug that's fixed in 2.17, iirc.
Yup. I can confirm that.
Wait, so did you try this patch? Does it build? mips64 or mips64el?
I'm just confirming that the ld error is fixed with binutils-2.17: it's
the exact same error as gcc-4.6 and I did have a built
gcc-4.6/binutils-2.17 combo on loongson. No reason to suspect that
gcc-4.8 won't build with binutils-2.17 as well. I don't have the time to
test gcc-4.8/binutils-2.17 right now but I will if people really want.
