 Test case?  Also the MIPS psABI does explicitly require an overflow check 
here, so a commentary note is certainly due, perhaps also referencing the 
comment in the switch case immediately below, where `_gp_disp' is handled 
with R_MIPS16_LO16 relocations, which likewise are incorrectly required by 
the psABI to be overflow-checked.

 Thanks for handling the bug report.
