   Something like 

	   struct elf_link_hash_entry *gp;
	   gp = elf_link_hash_lookup (elf_hash_table (info), "_gp",
				      false, false, false)

   should work, no?  Better than a loop over the symbols.

We'd have to be careful about any such change to make sure that the
assembler still generated the right value for a GP relative reloc to a
section symbol.
