I am able to get a .s file which crashes assembler on
qemu. Same file assembles ok with mips cross assembler
so next I want to get hold of a mips hardware and try
it on the real h/w, meanwhile if someone has easy access
to mips and can load core-image-sato-sdk on it then I can
provide the asm file which crashes assembler
