FEATURES installsources not working on MIPS?

Update 2010-07-09: the patch received upstream attention. The maintainer said it's better to send to rpm-devel@rpm5.org directly.
Update: just reported to upstream http://rpm5.org/cvs/tktview?tn=61

I resumed my quest to xulrunner linking problem on Loongson: http://old.nabble.com/R_MIPS_TLS_GD-reloc-overflow-when-linking-%3E%3Dxulrunner-1.9.1.5-td26755056.html

But I found that "installsources" FEATURE is not working on Loongson. I investigated it and found that it is because debug.sources file produced by debugedit is empty.

Then I found that in turn was because debug related sections in MIPS elf file is not of type SHT_PROGBITS, but SHT_MIPS_DWARF.

[32] .debug_aranges MIPS_DWARF 00000000 0845c4 0002c0 00 0 0 1
[33] .debug_pubnames MIPS_DWARF 00000000 084884 001a2a 00 0 0 1
[34] .debug_info MIPS_DWARF 00000000 0862ae 015221 00 0 0 1

[39] .debug_macinfo MIPS_DWARF 00000000 0b14a0 1cf9d6 00 0 0 1
[40] .debug_ranges MIPS_DWARF 00000000 280e76 0001d8 00 0 0 1
So the fix is very easy and straight forward.
