MIPS users should continue to use the latest 2.8.1-based releases
available from ftp.linux.sgi.com. All newer linker have heavy bugs
which will result in linker crashes, bad kernels and more. I especially
have to warn about the binutils from Cygnus' anonymous CVS. At this
time the MIPS support in that binutils versions is undergoing heavy
rewrite in order to support the N32 ABI and as a temporary side effect
they are therefore currently completly unusable for Linux/MIPS.
