I know it is.

But I don't.  I completely re-issue numbers to those that had one before.

Nope.  In the general case I need to fill the holes left by 
elf_link_assign_sym_version (previously also fixed up by
complete renumbering -- also after bed->size_dynamic_sections!)
and also fill holes left by moving the dynlocal symbols to 
initial indicies.

So actually MIPS was broken by symbol versioning before my
change.  Now it's broken all the time.

I'm doubly convinced another sort is needed.
