-@i{FIXME: What other information do we need to note here?}
+Not all traditional MIPS macro instructions are currently supported.
+Specifically, @code{li.d} and @code{li.s} are not currently supported.
+
+When using @code{@value{GCC}} with MIPS @value{AS}, @code{@value{GCC}}
+must be configured using the -with-gnu-as switch (this is the case for
+Cygnus distributions) or @code{@value{GCC}} must be invoked with the
+-mgas option.
+
+Assembling for a MIPS ECOFF target supports some additional sections
+besides the usual @code{.text}, @code{.data} and @code{.bss}. The
+additional sections are @code{.rdata}, used for readonly data,
+@code{.sdata}, used for small data, and @code{.sbss}, used for small
+common objects.
+
+When assembling for ECOFF, the assembler will automatically use the $gp
+($28) register when forming the address of a small object. Any object
+in the .sdata or .sbss sections is considered to be small. For external
+objects or objects in the @code{.bss} section, the -G switch may be used
+to control the size of objects for which the $gp register will be used;
+the default value is 8, meaning that a reference to any object eight
+bytes or smaller will use $gp. Passing -G 0 to @value{AS} will prevent
+it from using the $gp register. The size of an object in the
+@code{.bss} section is set by the @code{.comm} or @code{.lcomm}
+pseudo-op that defines it. The size of an external object may be set
+using the @code{.extern} pseudo-op. For example, @samp{.extern sym,4}
+declares that the object at @code{sym} is 4 bytes in length, whie
+leaving @code{sym} otherwise undefined.
+
+Using small ECOFF objects requires linker support, and assumes that the
+$gp register has been correctly initialized (normally done automatically
+by the startup code). MIPS ECOFF assembly code must avoid modifying the
+$gp register.
+
+MIPS ECOFF @value{AS} supports several pseudo-ops used for generating
+debugging information which are not support by traditional MIPS
+assemblers. These are @code{.def}, @code{.endef}, @code{.dim},
+@code{.file}, @code{.scl}, @code{.size}, @code{.tag}, @code{.type},
+@code{.val}, @code{.stabd}, @code{.stabn}, and @code{.stabs}. The
+debugging information generated by the three @code{.stab} pseudo-ops can
+only be read by GDB, not by traditional MIPS debuggers (this enhancement
+is required to fully support C++ debugging). These psuedo-ops are
+primarily used by compilers, not assembly language programmers, and are
+described elsewhere in the manual.
