mips-gcc 4.8.1 fails with Chipmunk 7.0. Works Ok with 6.2.2

[riq]

This seems to be a bug in mips-linux-gnu-gcc 4.8.1 and not a bug in Chipmunk 7.0... but since I cannot upgrade the toolchain, I would like to work-around it.

Some context:

* I'm cross-compiling Chipmunk to CI20, a Linux Mips machine (http://www.elinux.org/MIPS_Creator_CI20)
* I'm using gcc-mips v4.8.1 as the cross-compiler, and I cannot upgrade it (https://sourcery.mentor.com/GNUToolchai ... cmpid=7108)
* Chipmunk v6.2.2 cross-compiles Ok
* Chipmunk v7.0.0 (github master branch from today) fails with the following error:

For some reason, mips-gcc doesn't like "movz...", but apparently it is a valid opcode.

The opcode seems to be in the cpPolyShapeQuery function. I posted the disassembly here:
https://gist.github.com/ricardoquesada/ ... -error-L92

any idea how to work-around it?
Thanks!

Ok, apparently this tiny change makes it compile:
https://github.com/slembcke/Chipmunk2D/pull/95

the "movz..." opcode is not generated and mips-gcc 4.8.1 is happy with it.
