This patch looks mostly ok, but I think there are some small issues with it.

Can you separate the new warnings/error relating to -fno-pic / -mabicalls into another patch from the change which alters the behaviour of PIC / pic ?

The title of the patch is misleading, as you're adding warnings related to -fno-pic / -mabicalls and changing how pic is defined.

Can you reformulate this comment to say that MIPS does not use PIC level 2? Also, please add a note stating that even with -mxgot / -fPIC / multigot , MIPS does not use PIC level 2 unlike other architecutres for historical reasons.
