Yeah, this has been an issue for a while AIUI.

I don't think it affects C/C++ projects in general because of separate compilation. Zig, OTOH, uses a compilation model that's more like a "unity build", which results in tons of relocations in the single module that goes through `MipsELFObjectWriter`, so we're really badly affected by this. It's only recently that we've started getting our MIPS port up to a high standard of quality, so it's hurting us quite a bit now that we actually want to do regular testing for it.
