While you may have luck here, I would suggest mailing the maintainers
of the MIPS branch of GCC. (or whatever tool your using) They ought to
helpful if its as simply making a linker script to include a few
config words at a specific address. Unfortunately, I've never had much
luck with using open source toolchains for embedded use, but you seem
to be quite a bit father than me.

Good luck, post findings
