Old versions of MIPS GCC accept the -mcpu argument to determine which MIPS CPU to tune the scheduler for. However, modern versions of GAS do not accept -mcpu for MIPS targets - instead, they use -mtune.
If GCC's driver (gcc) is invoked to compile code and modern GAS is the assembler, passing -mcpu to the compilation will result in a GAS error:
Compiler error: Compiler did not create an object file: mips-linux-gnu-as: unrecognized option '-mcpu=r6000'
This can be worked around in a local decompilation by only invoking cc1 and piping its output to MASPSX/GAS. However, since it's extremely common to use old GCC with newer GAS in decompilations, it would be nice if MASPSX could translate -mcpu to -mtune.
As far as I can see, all potential MIPS -mcpu parameters in old GCC are accepted for -mtune in modern GAS - the base argument just needs to be changed.
