Hi Andrei,
Here's a patch on top of yours that omits the link step from the new
autoconf test. This eliminates the warnings I encountered before:

Here's an updated version of your commit, incorporating the above patch:

Subject: [PATCH] configure: try to force o32 ABI on MIPS
GRUB expects o32 ABI, in particular used assembly is valid only in this mode.
Some systems (e.g. GNU Guix) default to using newer n64 or n32 ABI. Try to
find suitable options to force o32.
For GCC this is simply -mabi=32. While clang supports this option as well,
o32 ABI is valid for MIPS target and n32/64 ABI are valid for MIPS64 target
only, so use "-target mips/mipsel -mabi=32".

2.5.0
I tested this on MIPS with GCC 5.2.0 and clang 3.6.0. It works the same
as before, but the warnings are gone.
What do you think?
