Err, perhaps I spoke too soon.  I tried a similar experiment on elf32-hppa
as one stage, and found $global$ undefined.  Maybe elf64-ia64 does things
differently.

Goes away and looks.

Ah, hmm.  Fairly obvious lack of setting h->root.type, value etc. in
elf32-hppa.c:elf32_hppa_set_gp.  Thanks!  This discussion has led to a
code improvement.
