This sounds like the correct interpretation -- now that you've mentioned
that GOT reference I've recalled doing some work in that area long ago
when support for linker scripts (and converting symbols to local this way)
was added to the MIPS backend. I can have a look at the relevant code
again if you discover any further problems.
