In linux kernel since version 4.4 (release Date: 2016-01-10)
Pass the -mcompact-branches=never flag to the compiler in order to
force it to always emit branches with delay slots, and make no use
of the compact branch instructions introduced by MIPSr6. This is
useful if you suspect there may be an issue with compact branches in
either the compiler or the CPU.
