Have you got your sources properly installes so that include/asm is
a symlink to include/asm-mips?  I've done the experiment at my end,
and it builds just fine so long as regdef.h and cacheops.h are really
on the include path of the compilation.  If they're not, I get:

[kevink@cthulhu tmp]$ mipsel-linux-gcc -I ~/smtchead/include -c cacheop.S
cacheop.S: Assembler messages:
cacheop.S:4: Error: Instruction cache requires absolute expression
cacheop.S:4: Error: Instruction cache requires absolute expression
cacheop.S:4: Error: illegal operands `cache'
