+ Jiaxun, who has been looking into MIPS + LLVM issues recently and has
been a big help :)

I think they intend for you to get it via their make.cross script but
this issue reproduces with clang 16.0.2 from
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/llvm/ for me locally.

I am far from a MIPS expert but this usually means that there is some
assembler directive that we are missing to allow access to certain
instructions in newer ISA versions than the one specified via '-march'.
I have no idea if that is the case here or not but I do see the correct
target flags when building with V=1, so it is not something obvious like
that. I can double back to this later this week or next week if nobody
else is able to.

Regardless, this seems like a pre-existing issue that was just exposed
by your patch, not the root cause of it.

Cheers,
Nathan
