We need a fix that allows -G <N> (for example, '-G 0' or '-G 8'.)
that's standard mips syntax, we need it for bootblocks, and right now
egcs only allos '-G0' or '-G8', which is mildy broken.

Castor Fu's patch works, but I dont think that the egcs config/netbsd.h
should really be overriding port-specific flags as it currently does.

Whether an option letter takes arguments really is target-cpu
dependent, at least for some letters. config/netbsd.h should either
not clobber the port-specific define, or it should or in another
macro-token of target-specfic flags (which defaults  to 0 if not defined
by MD code.)

everything else I know of is in our tree in our config/mips/netbsd.h--
which shouid go back to the egcs maintainers.
(they may want to reorder the additional stanzas; that'd be fine with me.).
