Re: Why does mips define elf_backend_sign_extend_vma to true?

Not sign extended.

8 (64-bit).

That's why I was confused.  I'm going to go figure out what want64 at
configure time accomplishes that MIPS doesn't always do.  I don't have
a "64-bit-bfd" built, but CORE_ADDR is always 64-bit on MIPS.

Wait... --enable-64-bit-bfd should not have any effect on MIPS.  All it
does is force wordsize=64, as far as I can see, and wordsize=64 is
forced by the inclusion of the elf64 vectors in $selvecs for
mips*-*-linux-gnu.  Does not using it have any effect on your problem?
