I think the core differences are probably that I tried to compile non-pic
code and code which tries to use GNU extensions. I intend to recompile
the entire Linux distribution with this new linker which probably will
trigger a few more bugs according to my past experience. Finally the
Linux/MIPS64 kernel will exercise non-PIC 64-bit code - hopefully
without triggering any new bugs ...
