Re: MIPS version of LD not honoring -Ttext for .MIPS.abiflags section

Is the .MIPS.abiflags section a fixed size ?  I suspect that it is.
If I am right then you could try something like this:

  --start-address=.MIPS.abiflags=0x80200000 -Ttext=0x80200012

(If the section is 0x12 bytes long...)

If you cannot find a workaround for the problem, please feel free
to file a bug report here:

Not that I am guaranteeing that we will be able to find a solution
ourselves, but it is worth a try.

Cheers
