The use of "add" instruction for immediate operations can result to build failures for MIPS R6. This is because, the 'add' is a macro in binutils and depending on the size of the immediate it can expand to an 'addi' instruction which has been removed from MIPS R6. Thus, we will be using the 'addu' macro instead, which also accepts immediate operands. Link: http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2015-01/msg00121.html Cc: Maciej W.
