Subject: [PATCH] Fix use of compact eh frames on MIPS
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Newer MIPS toolchains use a different (compact) eh_frame format.
libffi don't like them, so we have to switch to the older format.

This patch add -mno-compact-eh to CFLAGS when compiling for
Mips and compiler support it.
