I don't think there is any hurry, but this time I'll fix the fails,
particularly since they involve some MIPS tidies.

Exactly why general ELF changes need to be tested on multiple targets.
Lots of things are not obvious.  (And I hope I haven't tripped over
some irix peculiarity with this patch..)

----
git commit f2d4ba38f5 caused many failures for mips-sgi-irix targets,
and added a new test that failed for aarch64, nds32, and rl78.
The mips failures are due to BSF_OBJECT being set in many cases for
symbols by the mips .global/.globl directive.  This patch removes that
code and instead sets BSF_OBJECT in a target frob_symbol function,
also moving the mips hacks in elf_frob_symbol to the new function.

Note that common symbols are handled fine in elf.c:swap_out_syms
without needing to set BSF_OBJECT, so that old code can disappear.

	* config/obj-elf.c (elf_frob_symbol): Remove mips hacks.
	* config/tc-mips.h (tc_frob_symbol): Define.
	(mips_frob_symbol): Declare.
	* config/tc-mips.c (s_mips_globl): Don't set BSF_OBJECT for irix.
	(mips_frob_symbol): Fudge symbols for irix here.
	* testsuite/gas/elf/type-2.e: Allow random target symbols.
