It's related to the mips-ecoff format in DEC Ultrix, old Irix 3's and 4' etc.
not with embedded ecoff or elf at all...

When both the 'config/mips/elf.h' and 'config/mips/elf64.h' do a:

	#include <mips/ecoff.h>,

I would suggest putting the following after the 

	#include <mips/mips.h>

in 'config/mips/ecoff.h' :

	/* We do not want to run mips-tfile!  */
	#undef ASM_FINAL_SPEC

The macro, 'ASM_FINAL_SPEC', specifying the need for 'mips-tfile' is in 
'config/mips/mips.h'...

Cheers, Kai
