Hi Jim,
There is no "target independent" code in these patches. It's all Mips specific.
There is something I'm proposing for AP/NO_APP wrappers but that will just make the stubs look nicer (without the clutter of those wrappers).
That is purely a cosmetic issue of the .s files being produced.
The discussion has moved back to the main thread so I'll continue there.
Thanks for taking to make a detailed answer.
Reed
