`-march=r5900' already enables the R5900 short loop workaround.
However, the R5900 ISA and most other MIPS ISAs are mutually
exclusive since R5900-specific instructions are generated as well.
The `-mfix-r5900' option can be used in combination with e.g.
`-mips2' or `-mips3' to generate generic MIPS binaries that also
work with the R5900 target.
This change has been tested with `make RUNTESTFLAGS=mips.exp
check-gas' for the targets `mipsr5900el-unknown-linux-gnu',
`mipsr5900el-elf' and `mips3-unknown-linux-gnu'.
---
Changes in v2:
- Discard `-mfix-r5900' option localisation
- Discard `.set reorder' from r5900-fix.s
- Swap `.ent' and label in r5900-fix.s
- Test `-mfix-r5900' border cases
- Honor and test `-mno-fix-r5900'
- Improve documentation wording

However, the R5900 ISA and most other MIPS ISAs are mutually
exclusive since R5900-specific instructions are generated as well.
The `-mfix-r5900' option can be used in combination with e.g.
`-mips2' or `-mips3' to generate generic MIPS binaries that also
work with the R5900 target.
This change has been tested with `make RUNTESTFLAGS=mips.exp
check-gas' for the targets `mipsr5900el-unknown-linux-gnu',
`mipsr5900el-elf' and `mips3-unknown-linux-gnu'.

Changes in v2:
- Discard `-mfix-r5900' option localisation
- Discard `.set reorder' from r5900-fix.s
- Swap `.ent' and label in r5900-fix.s
- Test `-mfix-r5900' border cases
- Honor and test `-mno-fix-r5900'
- Improve documentation wording
