I don't understand the context of what you're trying to do.  But when I
did some MIPS32 OABI assembly last time, I noticed that calls into
shared libraries _must_ load the address of the function into t9 before
doing the jump.  Else position-independant code won't work.
I.e. replace t0 in your stub with t9.

BTW why not use gdb's 'disas' command to look at the stub?
