    MIPS: Avoid a dangling `vfork@GLIBC_2.0' reference

    This satisfies a symbol reference created with:

        .symver    __libc_vfork, vfork@GLIBC_2.0

    where `__libc_vfork' has not been defined or referenced.  In this case
    the `vfork@GLIBC_2.0' reference is supposed to be discarded, however a
    bug present in GAS since forever causes an undefined symbol table entry
    to be created.  This in turn triggers a problem in the linker that can
    manifest itself by link errors such as:

    ld: libpthread.so: invalid string offset 2765592330 >= 5154 for section
`.dynstr'

    The GAS and linker bugs need to be resolved, but we can avoid them too
    by providing a `__libc_vfork' definition just like our other platforms.

        [BZ #17485]
        * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/vfork.S (__libc_vfork): Define.
