The site http://dev.lemote.com/code/firefox-3.7-loongson-jit says:
"Recommend building with Lemote's tool-chain

I was under the impression that only the kernel, linux had to be
compiled with the loongson2f as/binutils fixes to avoid system lockups
due to silicon-level loongson2f bugs.
As I have said in
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2009-11/msg00387.html, only
-mfix-loongson2f-nop is needed for user-space applications.
