Re: [PATCH][MIPS] Add linker emulation for N64 ABI with forced 32-bit symbols

Well, GNU userspace uses -mabicalls too, but the -mno-shared form is
now the default for executables.  I suppose that's the difference.

Just to confirm: it sounds from what you're saying that -msym32
(and 32-bit load addresses) are not valid as well as not useful
for n64 NetBSD.  5GB is the minimum (or only) acceptable start
address.  Is that right?
