[PATCH] D31528: [ELF][MIPS] Multi-GOT implementation

[Rui Ueyama via llvm-commits]

Joerg, I don't think that's the case. In the long run, you can change the
standard if you make an effort. The problem I'm saying is that no one seems
to seriously making an effort to make it in line with other ELF ABIs.
There's no ABI that doesn't have a defect, but the current status of the
MIPS ABI is honestly a mess. It is very uncomfortable to me to accept MIPS
oddities blindly; I think I reserve a right to say that this is OK as long
as it will be addressed in a long run.

Simon, can you start a discussion in the MIPS ABI mailing list (if exists)
that you are getting a push-back due to the incompatibilities from other
ELF standards?
