[PATCH] D31528: [ELF][MIPS] Multi-GOT implementation

[Rui Ueyama via llvm-commits]

But MIPS multi-GOT is not integrated well as other parts of the system, no?
It seems that it tried to avoid making any changes to the system. It
doesn't use any help from dynamic linker other than the regular dynamic
relocation processing. So we have to generate more dynamic relocations than
necessary to simulate what the dynamic linker would do for the real GOT.
