RE: R_MIPS_GOT16 error with --version-script option to ld in 2.10.1

[Jeff Baker <jbaker at qnx dot com>]

This is the function that is producing the assertions.

static bfd_vma
mips_elf_global_got_index (abfd, h)
     bfd *abfd;
     struct elf_link_hash_entry *h;
{
  bfd_vma index;
  asection *sgot;
  struct mips_got_info *g;

  g = mips_elf_got_info (abfd, &sgot);

  /* Once we determine the global GOT entry with the lowest dynamic
     symbol table index, we must put all dynamic symbols with greater
     indices into the GOT.  That makes it easy to calculate the GOT
     offset.  */
  BFD_ASSERT (h->dynindx >= g->global_gotsym->dynindx);
  index = ((h->dynindx - g->global_gotsym->dynindx + g->local_gotno)
           * MIPS_ELF_GOT_SIZE (abfd));
  BFD_ASSERT (index < sgot->_raw_size);

  return index;
}
