in arch/mips/Makefile, we use the -mcpu=r4600 flag for MIPS32. What's
interesting is that the use of this flag can cause the toolchain to
generate incorrect code. For example:
la k0, 1f nop 1: nopThe la macro is split into a lui and a daddiu. The daddiu is not correct for a mips32 cpu. Getting rid of the -mcpu=4600 fixes the problem and the daddiu is then changed addiu. Is there a truly correct -mcpu option for a mips32 cpu? Pete |
