Please don't. I'm fine to apply work arounds for port architectures, but not
for release architectures (I didn't decide on this status). The binutils update
plan was announced last June [1], and I plan to stick to it. At least one of
the mips toolchain maintainers (out of the five who committed to in the
architecture qualification process) seems to address RC issues, and according to
the upstream issue, there's work in progress.
