Attached patch PatchSplinter Review
The -Wa,-xgot arguments used on mips are not necessary since binutils were fixed 4 years ago (in 2.17). Not using these arguments is supposed to now get faster and more stable binaries. Debian has been applying this patch for 4 years, and various test suites (xpcshell-tests, check, reftest, crashtest) have been recently run on 1.9.1, validating that the binaries work fine (modulo fixes that are subject of other bugs)
