Strange Linaro mips compiler assembly output - gcc

Question

To create assembly code I'm calling the mipsel-openwrt-linux-uclibc-gcc compiler (Linaro GCC 4.8-2014.04 r49389) with flag -S.
This produces assembly code looking like this:
.section .mdebug.abi32

This doesn't look like AT&T nor Intel syntax to me. To produce more familiar syntax I've tried the -masm=intel flag, but same effect..
My first thougt was the produced ASM code is dedicated to the fixed word width of mips,
but any ideas how to generate AT&T or Intel syntax via mipsel-openwrt-linux-uclibc-gcc?
Thanks for any hints!

Answer 1

"What AT&T and Intel syntax have to do with MIPS?" - Nothing directly, I've tagged it that way as tag 'mipsel-openwrt-linux-uclibc-gcc' was not available (sry, maybe bad style).
But thanks Margaret your comment directed me to compile some more .c files leading to the expected AT&T syntax :) - f.e.:
.section .mdebug.abi32
.previous
.gnu_attribute 4, 3
.abicalls
.option pic0
.text
$Ltext0:
.cfi_sections .debug_frame
.align 2
$LFB16 = .
.file 1 "io.c"
.loc 1 474 0
.cfi_startproc
.set nomips16
.ent prepare_text
.type prepare_text, #function
prepare_text:
.frame $sp,48,$31 # vars= 0, regs= 5/0, args= 16, gp= 8
.mask 0x800f0000,-4
.fmask 0x00000000,0
.set noreorder
.set nomacro
$LVL0 = .
addiu $sp,$sp,-48
.cfi_def_cfa_offset 48
sw $17,32($sp)
sw $31,44($sp)
sw $19,40($sp)
sw $18,36($sp)
sw $16,28($sp)
.cfi_offset 17, -16
.cfi_offset 31, -4
