Fwd: All mips BSPs cannot link psxfenv01

I'm forwarding a discussion between Sebastian Huber and myself. Looks like
the mips fenv.h support was broken recently.

Any ideas?

It is probably this change:

commit 8fa73a9f8414a4926365324c2fe32a237c2eb91d
Author: Jeff Johnston <[email protected]>
Date:   Mon Nov 29 17:33:52 2021 -0500

     Modifying patch from: [email protected]

     The code accessing the floating point control/status register, namely

             #define __cfc1(__fcsr)  __asm __volatile("cfc1 %0, $31" :
"=r" (__fcsr)

     does not compile with mips16. This changed the makefile to pass
-mno-mips16 to avoid the following
     compiler error:

             mips-mti-elf fails with "Error: unrecognized opcode `cfc1
$3,$31'"

I have no time to dig into the Newlib build system.
