  MIPS targets use signed PC values.  Since commit a0de8c21
single-stepping on these targets didn't work due to the addition of
address_significant in adjust_breakpoint_address - sign bits were cut
off because of default value of significant_addr_bit.  With this
commit, significant_addr_bit in gdbarch is set to the number of bits
in CORE_ADDR so breakpoint address comparison works again for MIPS
targets.

	* mips-tdep.c (mips_gdbarch_init): Set significant_addr_bit

 NAK.  As noted in the other thread I think it's the default that has to 
be fixed instead.
