The gnu ld and binutils for mips has a bug with relocation.
It is possible for a relocation table to be created that is not able to be loaded correctly.
We found this with the intersil wireless driver port.
To enable a correctly created mips relocation table (either a .o, or ld -r) it is necessary
to turn off one of the instruction re-scheduling passes.
Specifically, on mips-gcc -fno-schedule-insns2 is needed.
This is an FYI. The bug has been reported to the appropriate mailing lists.
This patch is an effort to avoid this problem on mips.
