Annotation of GNUtools/cc/README.MIPS, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: If you use the 1.31 version of the MIPS assembler (such as was shipped
        !             2: with Ultrix 3.1), you will need to use the -fno-delayed-branch switch
        !             3: when optimizing floating point code.  Otherwise, the assembler will
        !             4: complain when the GCC compiler fills a branch delay slot with a
        !             5: floating point instruction, such as add.d.
        !             6: 
        !             7: The GCC compiler on the MIPS will put small strings into the short
        !             8: data area, rather than the read-only data section.  This is so that
        !             9: references to the strings only take one instruction, instead of the
        !            10: normal two instructions.
        !            11: 
        !            12: Users have reported some problems with version 2.0 of the MIPS
        !            13: compiler tools (Ultrix 4.1).  Version 2.10 seems to work (Ultrix 4.2).
