When the GOT overflows on MIPS (which is possible in spite of
multi-got, if the overflow is caused a single input object file), we
often get thousands of error messages.  This patch introduces a limit
of 10 errors that explicitly mention the overflowing relocation, plus
one in case more such errors are encountered.  Ok to install?
