Annotation of GNUtools/cc/README.MIPS, revision 1.1.1.1

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).
