Sounds like somebody tried to save space on your system by stripping
all binaries, but forgot to exclude /usr/lib.  If you reinstall the
dev product you should get an unstripped fixade.o

By the way, if you are compiling with -mips2, and use malloc/calloc for
data with doubles in it, use -lmalloc also.  The libc malloc bogusly
returns memory that is only word (4 byte) aligned, not 8 byte.  That
never showed up until the true 64 bit loads and stores on the r4k
systems.
