[PATCH] D20664: [ELF][MIPS] Always resolve MIPS GP-relative relocations to 'local' definitions

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.

So, while this should work, it fairly undesirable that preemption depends on the relocation.

Any idea why gpword is used with a global? The comment in the MC parser implies it should be used with a local:

/// parseDirectiveGpWord
///  ::= .gpword local_sym

Also, llvm doesn't seem to print it for anything but jump tables.

So, long way of saying LGTM, but please add a fixme about dropping this once freebsd moves out of the prehistorical gcc.
