The packages in mips-binutils-2.8.1 have been built with binutils 2.8.1.
Those in the mips subdirectory have mostly been built with my private
binutils 2.9.5 version which tagged it's binaries with the
DT_MIPS_TIME_STAMP thing, not with got[1] = 0xc0000000 as later ones.
That is all the DT_MIPS_TIME_STAMP binaries will stop working as soon
as I remove the support for this old workaround from the dynamic linker.
