It's my mistake. I select a wrong test case to show the problem (it was easier to copy-paste existing test code). A real case is R_MIPS_GPREL16. This relocation is used to setup GP offset in a function's prologue. That is why it should be always resolved locally. Here is an example. I am going to update the test case before commit.
.text
.global entry
entry:
lui $gp,%hi(%neg(%gp_rel(foo)))
daddu $gp,$gp,$t9
daddiu $gp,$gp,%lo(%neg(%gp_rel(foo)))
R_MIPS_GPREL32 is for local symbols. But GNU linker does not show any error if R_MIPS_GPREL32's target is preemptible symbol. So I still think it is better to handle them uniformly too.
And thanks for review.
