[PATCH] MIPS support for GNU hash

[Mihailo Stojanović]

Thank you for the input. The approach I took for dl-lookup.c (defining 
MIPS specific macros in dl-machine.h and using them in 
architecture-independent dl-lookup.c) will not work for 
architecture-independent dl-addr.c, as it must not include dl-machine.h.

These MIPS specific macros could possibly be moved to 
sysdeps/mips/ldsodefs.h, and their generic counterparts moved to 
architecture-independent sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h. This way they could 
be accessed by both dl-lookup.c and dl-addr.c. Is this OK? If not, could 
you suggest another approach?

Regards,

Mihailo
