Yes. I understand. Though I don't know why you aren't passing
-march=vr4100 to gcc (or at least -mtune=vr4100). You don't want 4100
tuned code?

Because -m4100 -mips2 is wrong. -mips2 is simply an alias for a
processor that implements the standard mips2 ISA. Here you are
specifying two architectures on the same command line. Why would you
think this would work (other than it worked in the past)?
