AFAICS this is using the mips cross compiler version 4.9.0 from kernel.org [1],
which in turn uses binutils 2.24. At least this is what make.cross tries to install.

I downloaded it and used it to compile both the attached configuration as well
as jmr3927_defconfig. Both are building just fine for me. On top of that,
arch/mips/vdso/gettimeofday.c should not build in the first place with binutils 2.24
(and doesn't build for me).

What am I missing ?
