[PATCH] Fix --gc-sections for MIPS.

[David Daney]

ld --gc-sections was causing an assertion failure in elfxx-mips.c: 
mips_elf_sort_hash_table().

The problem was that elf_gc_sweep() was setting dynsymcount incorrectly. 
  It was not accounting for the unused NULL entry as is done in 
_bfd_elf_link_renumber_dynsyms().

The attached patch adds the missing logic to elf_gc_sweep().

The problem was not fatal in all architectures as 
_bfd_elf_link_renumber_dynsyms() is being called after elf_gc_sweep() 
and cleaned up the mess.

On MIPS mips_elf_sort_hash_table() is called while dynsymcount had the 
incorrect value causing the assertion failure.

Tested on i686-pc-linux-gnu configured as --target=mipsel-linux:  make 
-k check no new failures.

	* elflink.c (elf_gc_sweep):  Set dynsymcount to correct value.


OK to commit?
