I had similar gp relocation problems trying to make ucbMail.  The make file
used xstr to gather strings together, and the combination of xstr, mips cc, &
ld didn't seem to get along at all.

Finally got a make by using cc for the pre-processing "cc -E"'s (-U__STDC__
helped a lot, too), and gcc for the "cc . . . x.c"'s.  Not a whimper from the
loader, and no mucking about w/-G's.

I'm curious what experience others have had w/xstr and the mips compiler.
