Dear developers,
I am attempting to build a package of GNU IceCat for gNewSense metad (the
version based upon debian).
When building GNU IceCat from source on MIPS, I encounter an error that have
been reported on Mozilla [1] and fixed in current (4.0 beta 9) version of
Firefox. The problem comes from binutils though and seems to occur only on MIPS
with ABI n32 [2].

I attach to this email the patch used to fix this problem. Basically, it
disables TLS support for MIPS in "configure.in".
The following commands have to be run after the patch has been applied:
autoconf2.13 configure.in >configure
chmod +x configure
Then, the typical `./configure; make' just works as expected.
Please patch "configure.in" on your SVN accordingly.
