Re: MIPS gas relaxation still doesn't work

 I think at least for the former case gas should be let relax jumps and
branches freely, so the ".set nomacro" statement should be moved to affect
instructions in delay slots only, as you suggested.

Except that, with the current implementation of branch relaxation,
when you enable it, each branch will mark the end of a frag, so the
assembler will be effectively unable to fill delay slots anyway, since
it won't bring instructions from the previous frag to the beginning of
the new frag.
