Hi folks,

During a cvs update I noticed something that I'd forgotten about.

For some reason our shared libraries on mips have a text start address
of something around 0x5ffe0000.  The only reference I found to that
number seems to be IRIX related, but it's been a long time since
I did the research.  Mips was the only arch in GNU ld to even use
SHLIB_TEXT_START_ADDR.  I've been running with this since January this
year with no known side effects - all the shared libraries load above
0x20000000 anyway.

Anyone see anything bad in committing this?

Simon.
