It appears that the build is using the wrong assembler. Did you install
binutils after you finished building it?

We have a cross-development chain built for the mips-tx39-elf target.
mips-elf should also work as a target.

Loading directly into cache? Hmmm, that's an interesting setup. Is your
program really going to be that small, or is this just for preliminary
bootstraping of the hardware?
