> The mips assembler (actually gas for mips) has the following:
>
> -call_shared : generate SVR4 position independent code.
> -call_nonpic : generate non-PIC code that can operate with DSOs. This was -cpic in the sgi assembler.
> -non_shared: do not generated code that can operate with DSOs. I believe this is -static in llvm.
>
> There are other more eccentric variations that eventually we may have to support.
>
> I believe that for Mips/llvm the default is to generate PIC (-call_shared) and with -static generate non-shared.
>
> The FIXME was to instead of passing this information in a collection of parameters, pass a const *MipsSubtarget object that already has any number of esoteric target specific options already set. Actually it would be Subtarget and get dynamically cast to target specific one upon arrival.
>
> The information is already gathered, I just can't get to it right now and thus FIXME so I don't forget.

>> As requested the test case has been incorporated into elf-basic.s with added comments to point out which assembler invocations generates which code and also annotated the CHECK calls themselves.
