Thank you for helping to get the upstream version nice and shiny.

Yes, this is the error that I got. I did not look further into it because I am not aware of any users of MIPS for libloc, or even as a whole.

I assumed this was a problem in Python. Looking for the two constants, I am not sure which one to set, because hardcoding this would break the build for other MIPS architectures.

What would you suggest to fix this?
