If you take a close look at the mips linker codes, most of it is to
deal with dynamic binaries, which was rarely tested before. I guess
Linux/mips is the only platform on which the mips linker gets really
tested, just like the i386 ELF linker/assembler.
hmm? i don't recall exactly when i started using netbsd/pmax, but it
was over 3 years ago. it was around the time they switched from ECOFF
to ELF (after NetBSD 1.3? i forget).
seems to have been working pretty well during this time.
