I am compiling with:

cflags-$(CONFIG_MACH_LM2F) += -Wa,-mfix-ls2f-kernel -Wa,--no-warn
(in arch/mips/Makefile)

I think that was at yanh's suggestion; it was from someone at lemote.

I am compiling on a gnewsense-mipsel-l distribution, with the addition
of the lemote binutils from dev.lemote.com, currently at:

binutils_2.18.1~cvs20080103-7.loongson.r03_mipsel.deb

The source and binary debs for that I also have up at:
http://config.fsf.org/packages/dists/gnewsense-mipsel-l/lemote-dev-binutils/

I am planning on compiling a 2.6.29.3-based linux (eg the tip of the git
tree you pointed at) for rms, since it seems like it includes the
suspend-resume support we want to test, and is what hackers are
currently working on. If there is a specific git tag you think it would
be good to test, please name it :-)

I will post to address@hidden when that's ready and confirmed
to boot and not crash really quickly (and stop posting to this really
long set of lists / people ...)
