I don't believe those rtld-ldscript.in and rtld-parms are needed for
the new MIPS toolchain at all. They may cause more trouble than
without. Could you please tell me what breaks when you remove them?
There is a chance that the old binaries compiled against glibc 2.0.x
may run with the new glibc 2.2 without those linker scripts for the
IRIX ABI.
