Perhaps you can do some archeology on the commit messages of binutils-gdb?

binutils-gdb commit 9785fc2a4d22 ("MIPS: Fix XPA base and
Virtualization ASE instruction handling")
looks interesting.
commit b015e599c772e does too. Looks like git tags aren't used, but
checking out those sources might have a version hardcoded in a
Makefile.
