+* Support for MIPS o32 FPXX, FP64A and FP64 ABI Extensions.
+ The original MIPS o32 hard-float ABI requires an FPU where double-precision
+ registers overlay two consecutive single-precision registers. MIPS32R2
+ introduced a new FPU mode (FR=1) where double-precision registers extend the
+ corresponding single-precision registers which is incompatible with the
+ o32 hard-float ABI. The MIPS SIMD ASE and the MIPSR6 architecture both
+ require the use of FR=1 making a transition necessary. New o32 ABI
+ extensions enable users to migrate over time from the original o32 ABI
+ through to the updated o32 FP64 ABI. To achieve this the dynamic linker now
+ tracks the ABI of any loaded object and verifies that new objects are
+ compatible. Mode transitions will also be requested as required and
+ unsupportable objects will be rejected. The ABI checks include both soft and
+ hard float ABIs for o32, n32 and n64.
+
+ GCC 5 with GNU binutils 2.25 onwards:
+ It is strongly recommended that all o32 system libraries are built using the
+ new o32 FPXX ABI (-mfpxx) to facilitate the transition as this is compatible
+ with the original and all new o32 ABI extensions. Configure a MIPS GCC
+ compiler using --with-fp-32=xx to set this by default.
