I don't understand.  How can the masking possibly be removed?  If you
don't mask, 0x50000000 + 0x40000000 == 0x90000000 and that's not going
to work on MIPS where we need 0xffffffff90000000.

This won't show the same problem, you'll need to use mips-elf instead.
MIPS Linux places application code below 0x80000000 exclusively; MIPS
ELF (at least some versions) starts applications in KSEG0, at
0x80000000.
