On second thoughts, I decided not to look into this. I'm plenty busy
with the mips cleanup right now, and this issue is easily worked around
(use "file" command to get the symbols) while the mips debugger really
is badly broken.
I recommend that a PR be filed, and the problem be documented. Maybe
somebody else will find an hour or two to look into this.
