450-mips-restore-embedded-pic is I believe the minimum necessary to get gcc

3.3.x to compile again on mips.  As was, compiling gcc 3.3.x for mips would
cause gcc to blow up whining about combining symbols from different segments,
since stock binutils no longer supports the PC relative expressions emitted by
gcc 3.3.x for mips when generating embedded PIC code.
