I think that this is an issue in our import of clang.  I'll have to =
check whether I upstreamed the code, but it's basically just not setting =
the e_flags field in the ELF header correctly (this required a little =
bit of tweaking in LLVM, because MIPS is the only platform that uses =
e_flags in quite this way - for everything else you know what the value =
should be from the target triple).

I believe that this is a limitation of our ld.  The PC16 relocation =
ought to be made to point to a PLT entry if it's too close, but it is =
just being truncated instead.  This is fixed in upstream ld-bfd, and =
hopefully will be easy to fix with MCLinker if it doesn't already work.  =
I'll see if we can make clang default to using larger relocation types =
for things not in the same compilation unit.
