mips unordered symbol table and relocations

[Nathan Sidwell]

Hi,
A windriver customer encounted a linker crash with a library archive produced
by an old toolchain. The symbol table is unoreded, with local and global
symbols intermixed. Some relocations were against symbols with no entry
in the (global) hash table, and these caused problems. objdump shows these
as relocations agains *ABS*. It may be possible that I've misunderstood these
*ABS* relocs, and the object file is infact corrupt. However, the attached
patch allows linkage to proceed. ok?
