I need help getting QNX MIPS support working

You might want to submit the code in this state then, in the hopes
that this will then enable other developers to build the mips-qnx port
and maybe even help find the dynamic linking problem.

This looks like MIPS magic to me, so I am not going to be of much help
to you. :-(

I am a little bit worried about this.  Does this apply to *all* MIPS
ELF ports or just the QNX one ?

This is very similar to the code in mips_elf_record_global_got_symbol() 
so I would guess that you are doing the right thing here.  Maybe. :-)
