The R5900 reports itself as MIPS III and DMULT, DMULTU, DDIV and DDIVU are part of the MIPS III ISA. They are emulated in user mode to support generic MIPS III programs. I have now obtained an R5900 n32 ABI toolchain. R5900 n32 ABI emulation support is recognised with http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-11/msg01609.html and a test of DMULT emulation is available with http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-11/msg01610.html Fredrik
