yay, more qemu emulation inaccuracy when emulating NT MIPS + wx86 on R4000
a bunch of FPU instructions are gated on `check_cp1_64bitmode`, the bit checked here is CP0 Status bit 26 (FR) - on R4000 this is only supposed to enable 16 additional FP registers when set.

these builds use a different hash algorithm encoding the string length, and also only hashes the new folder name (not the old folder name concatenated with the new folder name)
