Hi,

The pic-3,4.c and pie-3,4.c tests are failing for some configurations of
mips*-*-linux-*.

This is because PIC is always on for MIPS Linux by default, except when the
compiler is built with --with-mips-plt, in which case PIC is on by default only
for the n64 ABI, because in this case -mplt "has no effect without '-msym32'",
to quote the documentation, so -mplt is not passed by default.

Richard Sandiford also talked about this in the summary of a patch which was
skipping a test for mips*-*-linux-* because of PIC:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-01/msg00801.html

Therefore, I think the most reasonable solution would be to just skip these
tests for mips*-*-linux-*. The patch below does so.

Tested with mips-mti-linux-gnu.

Catherine, Matthew what do you think ?

Regards,
Toma

	* gcc.dg/pic-3.c: Skip for mips*-*-linux-*.
	* gcc.dg/pic-4.c: Likewise.
	* gcc.dg/pie-3.c: Likewise.
	* gcc.dg/pie-4.c: Likewise.

Given the acceptance that MIPS PIC behaviour is semi-unique then checking MIPS
complies with the rules around pre-processor behaviour doesn't add much value.
I'm happy to skip these tests on the basis that software can't make the same
assumptions about MIPS and __PIC__ as other architectures do.

OK to commit.

Thanks,
Matthew
