I've seen on other lists that haifa on mips helps a little bit too
much and generates code that violates the MIPS ABI.  However, this is
considered to be a bug in the ABI which binutils can easily work
around.  I don't recall the specifics, but it was in the Linux/MIPS
mailing list.  Might be something to look out for when you use th
haifa enabled compile.  Specifically, it would generate multiple %hi
references w/o a corresponding %lo and binutils didn't quite know how
to deal with that.

I'd be very interested to see what you come up with in this area.
