Applied, thanks a lot.
This fixes the start.S erros/warnings.
So the only obvious problem remaining for MIPS are the cache.S warnings:
cache.S:243: Warning: Pretending global symbol used as branch target is local. cache.S:250: Warning: Pretending global symbol used as branch target is local.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

This patch works with my two different CPUs. Thanks!

Assembler might be sensitive to global symbol references under PIC code because they should be processed through GOT in principle.
Therefore, we should have set up function entry point explicitly like:

jr RA END(mips_cache_reset)
I'll post the patch later.
thanks,
