Tried removing the -mips3 gcc option => -D_MIPS_ISA=_MIPS_ISA_MIPS1 is
set. I think it might be better to use "-mtune=<cpu> -mipsN". That
seems to set the correct options, without any warnings (using gcc
3.2.2). After having carefully read the gcc documentation (again)
regarding the MIPS options, I think that's the way to go for newer
gcc's as well. If anyone has already tried ?
