why?
U-Boot would hang during startup with that patch. I don't know what went wrong, and didn't really have time to debug it.
Looking at it again, this may have been caused by old versions of binutils and gcc. I followed the instructions at http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Toolchains, and I see now that they are quite old.
I used qemu 0.91, and compiled & ran U-Boot with the following commands: export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/mips/bin" export CROSS_COMPILE=mips-unknown-linux-gnu- cd ~/u-boot.mips make clean git clean -d -x -f make qemu_mips_config make ln -s ./u-boot.bin mips_bios.bin qemu-system-mips -tftp /tftpboot -L . /dev/null -nographic
