Query in MIPS HI and LO relocations

[Amarnath]

Hi all,

I am having a query in the MIPS ABI. As per the SYSTEM V ABI,
R_MIPS_HI16 relocation should be immediately followed by its
corresponding R_MIPS_LO16.

I would like to know whether this is specific to SYSTEM V architecture
alone / the linker specification can be changed as per our own
architecture.

Please help me in understanding this.
