MIPS gcc doesn't do such optimizations - and we'd expect no advantage from
it either because the range of R_MIPS_26 relocations used for jump
instructions is 256MB - unless somebody hits the special case where this
256MB boundary is going straight through the kernel in which case
-mlong-jump would be required anyway, __init or not.
