>Description:
	Trying to build a release snapshot for mipsco fails because
	the size of the boot loader has exceeded the maximum size:

/usr/tools/bin/mipseb--netbsd-ld --oformat elf32-bigmips -Map bootxx_ffs.map -N -x -Ttext 0x80600000  -T /usr/users/he/src/sys/arch/mipsco/stand/bootxx_ffs/../../../../arch/mipsco/conf/stand.ldscript -e start -o bootxx_ffs start.o bootxx.o callvec.o devopen.o conf.o saio.o prom.o /usr/users/he/src/sys/arch/mipsco/stand/bootxx_ffs/obj.mipsco/lib/sa/libsa.a  /usr/users/he/src/sys/arch/mipsco/stand/bootxx_ffs/obj.mipsco/lib/sa/libsa.a /usr/users/he/src/sys/arch/mipsco/stand/bootxx_ffs/obj.mipsco/lib/kern/libkern.a

*** Error code 1

Stop.
