[llvm] r205200 - [mips] Implement missing relocations in the integrated assembler.

[Daniel Sanders]

I'll have to look into this (or Simon might know).  When I read the test, it seemed obvious to me that the relocations would be emitted in the order they were read in the input file but it appears that gas isn't doing that.

Thanks for pointing that out.
