Re: PATCH: Fix mips*-*-linux*

[scott hutinger]

This type of thing has caused, and still causes problems on the PPC
platform (and ARM).  Any mixing (which H.J. Lu fully understands) doesn't
work.  The problem is that many platforms (x86) do not see any problems
with the mixture.  This causes this problem to continue, as people don't
understand that it really is a big problem; because they don't see
it.  What one can not see, doesn't hurt.
