The nomips16 has to be added both as function attribute and assembler
directive.
When only function attribute is specified, the compiler will inline the
function with -Os optimization. The generated assembly code cannot be
correctly assembled because ISA mode switch has to be done through jump
instruction.
When only ".set nomips16" directive is used, the generated assembly code
will use MIPS32 code for the inline assembly template and MIPS16 for the
function return. The compiled binary is invalid:
00403100 <__arch_swab16>:
403100: 7c0410a0 wsbh v0,a0
403104: e820ea31 swc2 $0,-5583(at)
while correct code should be:
00402650 <__arch_swab16>:
402650: 7c0410a0 wsbh v0,a0
402654: 03e00008 jr ra
402658: 3042ffff andi v0,v0,0xffff
