Hmm, doctor the patient is worse than we thought (and how ironic, this one is my target). Briefly, the MIPS still defines certain methods (REGISTER_RAW_SIZE() at least) as macro's mapped onto functions instead of true multi-arch methods. That is why they are being called when they shouldn't. I came up with a patch that fixed just REGISTER_RAW_SIZE() but that didn't fix it - suspect I need to find more. enjoy? Andrew
