Unfortunately I'm far from being a BFD expert, so it's not immediately obvious to me whether your fixes are fine or not. And I can't dig into BFD at the moment. Just make sure your changes adhere to the ELF ABI, both the generic part and the MIPS supplement. Also note I can only run-time test MIPS I, so if there is something wrong with higher ISAs, I wouldn't even notice unless I happen to study a dissassembly of affected code. The kernel crashes for me weirdly from time to time, indeed. I have a reproducible test case as well. I don't speak up on details, though, as I now have outdated binutils as well as the kernel I'm running is still 2.4.0-test12. Any conclusions will be sent to the list once collected and if relevant to current versions, of course. -- + Maciej W.
