Oh.  Sorry (this will surprise thos who claim that I never admit to
being wrong).  As I said, I don't have access to MIPS.  The capability,
as it was described to me, made no mention of .u files and, in fact,
claimed that the compiler did the IM analysis.  If it is done by a
post-translation tool, then it _is_ standard conforming.
