>Description:
	At a glance it would appear that the mips softfloat code in libc
	(src/lib/libc/arch/mips/fplib) suffers from the same name space
	pollution problem as the arm32; this has been discussed (and was
	fixed) in port-arm32/7517.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Code inspection; I haven't had an opportunity to try the testcase
	from port-arm32/7517, though.

>Fix:
	Until the fplib code (except for MD glue) is made MI, a change
	similiar to that in port-arm32/7517 should be applied.
