Hi Andreas,

With the command line flag -mplt and a recent toolchain, ELF binaries
generated by gcc can obtain EI_ABIVERSION=1, see below, which makes, e.g.,
gcc three-stage bootstrap in a mips-unknown-linux-gnu qemu-user chroot
fail since the binfmt-misc magic does not match anymore.

qemu executes these binaries just fine, so relax the mask slightly.

CHOST=mips-unknown-linux-gnu (and also mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu)
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=mips32 -mabi=32 -mplt -pipe"

It seems we could have more values than 0 or 1 here, according to binutils sources [1], so we might as well relax the mask for this byte...

|                 /* [9-15] EI_PAD:     */ 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0,

|         .e_type      = 2          , /* (ET_EXEC) */
|         .e_machine   = 8          , /* (EM_MIPS) */
|         .e_version   = 1          , /* (EV_CURRENT) */

... to just \x00, to allow any future MIPS libc ABI bumps. Libc ABI should not interfere with instruction semantics and emulation, so we're safe.
