The whole story can be condensed into this example (It's exactly the
line cited from the original code, above):

# cat mipsbug.s
   sw  $8,0xfffe0130

Compiling it with binutils-2.13.2.1 doesn't complain:

# mips-rtems4.6-as  -G0 -EB -mips1 -g0 -32 -v -o mipsbug.o mipsbug.s
GNU assembler version 2.13.2.1 (mips-rtems4.6) using BFD version 2.13.2.1


Compiling it with binutils-2.14 does:

# mips-rtems4.7-as  -G0 -EB -mips1 -g0 -32 -v -o mipsbug.o mipsbug.s
GNU assembler version 2.14 (mips-rtems4.7) using BFD version 2.14 20030910
mipsbug.s: Assembler messages:
mipsbug.s:1: Error: load/store address overflow (max 32 bits)

I hardly know anything about mips-asm and therefore am not able to judge
on what is wrong.
