I know this is a bit outside the scope of Performer but I am
trying to compile a Performer program...

I just installed the new 7.2 MIPSpro C++ compiler (you know,
the one that requires a license now :-0 ) on an R5K O2, installed
the April edition of the recommended patchset plus all of the
applicable patches for the compiler.

I want to compile the application with '-mips3 -n32' so that I
can run the app on an R4x00 platform too. When it links, I get
the following message:

ld32: WARNING 158: Expecting MIPS3 objects: /usr/lib32/crt1.o is MIPS4.

The resulting executable is MIPS4 which will only run on systems
with R5K, R8K, and R10K cpus.

In /usr/lib32, crt1.o is a link to mips4/crt1.o, and there
exists a mips3/crt1.o. Is there a way to get the new linker
to understand the meaning of the -mips3 option and link the
appropriate object? Is there a known workaround, short of
changing the links?

Thanks in advance,
scott
