I started to play with the new N32/N64 toolchains. I notice a new
section is generated for kernel, called .MIPS.options. (it actually
causes some grief for some firmware)
Can someone enlighten me a little bit on what it is?

In its current state it is basically a replacement for .reginfo.
For kernels etc. it can simply be /DISCARD/'ed.

It's a replacement for the .reginfo section of o32. See
'ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/doc/ABI/ELF64.ps' for details.
