 I've fixed it by using ".set mips3" universally -- alternating between it 
and ".set mips2" would be too ugly and the only difference between these 
ISAs are 64-bit operations, so for code that does not use them explicitly 
these settings should be equivalent.

 Well, GCC 3.4.4 is a bit old-fashioned, but it's not the worst one and 
certainly we are going to support it for a while yet. ;-)  Binutils 2.16.1 
should be OK -- I don't think there's been any problems discovered with 
them yet that would urge an update.
