[Bug ld/846] New: MIPS/ELF doesn't set DT_MIPS_UNREFEXTNO correctly

[hjl at lucon dot org]

According to

http://www.iagu.net/docs/dec/AA-PS31D-TET1_html/asm10.html

DT_MIPS_UNREFEXTNO holds an index into the dynamic symbol table. The index is
the entry of the first external symbol that is not referenced within the object.
But MIPS/ELF does:

            case DT_MIPS_UNREFEXTNO:
              /* The index into the dynamic symbol table which is the
                 entry of the first external symbol that is not
                 referenced within the same object.  */
              dyn.d_un.d_val = bfd_count_sections (output_bfd) + 1;

I have no ideas what it is trying to do. I posted a patch:

But I am not very familiar with MIPS/ELF.
