llvm dev - Jun 2012 - [LLVMdev] Mips nomicromips?

Hi,

I've decided to switch from the NetBSD standard library to the musl library 
(http://www.etalabs.net/musl/) for my ELLCC (http://ellcc.org) cross compiler 
project. During my musl feasability study I made a Mips port of musl. A day or 
two ago, just to make things interesting, I updated to the LLVM TOT (r158294).

I started getting assembler warnings about ".set nomicromips".

I'm running a fairly recent binutils (2.21.1).

My questions are:
	1. Does the code generator really need to output ".set nomicromips"?
	2. Does a more recent version of binutils understand it?

I will take that out of the current llvm compiler. It's not really 
necessary right now.

Some  more recent toolchains have that but it's possible that it has not 
even been pushed back into
open source. If you download the CodeSourcery toolchain for Mips, it 
will probably have that
pseudo op.
