Firstly, thank you for replying quickly, and it is my first time to send

It sounds reasonable to me, but still recommend to use 'etree_base'
instead of 'base' (it is still a global variable within "ld/mri.c").
BTW, the subject of the original message (sent by me) is not precise,
need use "ld: mri:" instead of "ld/ldlang.h:".
If still necessary to let me send patch v2 for it, please let me know.
Thanks.
