No problem. FWIW, I tested my patch with the compiler from Yocto 2.0, which
uses gcc 5.2.0 and binutils 2.25.1, with no problem.

Do you have directions on how to install a debian cross compiler into a Ubuntu system ?
Alternatively, what version of binutils does the mips cross compiler use ?

Thanks,
