We cannot change the default for non-Linux MIPS users without causing
massive problems. As far as I know, everybody uses -G8 as the default,
which can include such things as libraries (which may be delivered as
binary only).
So this is probably one of these things where the Linux/MIPS world will
do one thing, and the rest something else.
