Fair enough :-)

Sorry that I didn't try diff -u18 :-)

It really sucks to be working out of a relatively old branch and
trying to contribute to the net at the same time :-(

Thanks for the pointer. Here's a fixed patch that refrains from
``fixing'' opcodes.

Except that I've never been able to figure out whether the correct
name for the N64 abi is N64 or just 64. Not that I care, mind you ;-)

Ok to install?

Index: gdb/ChangeLog
from Alexandre Oliva <aoliva@redhat.com>

* Makefile.in (libbfd_h): Added missing setting.
* mips-tdep.c (mips_gdbarch_init): Set disassembler_options
according to the selected ABI.
