This problem still exists for xulrunner-1.9.3_alpha5 and binutils from cvs
(checked out today).

I found that the index's value is assigned here:

  next_index = MIPS_ELF_GOT_SIZE (entry->abfd) * (long) g->tls_assigned_gotno;

in mips_elf_initialize_tls_index().

And the g->tls_assigned_gotno is assigned here:

      g->tls_assigned_gotno = g->local_gotno + g->global_gotno;

in mips_elf_multi_got().

In one of those overflows:
  global_gotno = 0x1239
  local_gotno = 0x3c3b
So
  tls_assigned_gotno = 0x4e74

And the next_index is 0x4e74 * 4 = 80336, which is higher than 2**16.
And thus overflow.

However I still haven't found out why the local_gotno and global_gotno is so
high and how to make them not so high.
