Hi Richard,

 Following your earlier comment addressing microMIPS code:

I have made a complementing adjustment to original code currently present 
in mips_ip(), making the whole piece much simpler and less fragile.

	gas/
	* config/tc-mips.c (mips_ip): Make a copy of the instruction's
	mnemonic and use it for further processing.

 OK to apply?
