This is my memorandum, and the summary. If you find mistake, please
follow up it.
mips/mipsel has long-standing problem about GOT handling. The
GOT size is limited to 16KB and it's sometimes small. This
report is affected by this problem.
There're two ways to fix this problem; multiGOT and XGOT.
XGOT is originally developed in IRIX. It uses 32bit GOT, so
we don't need to worry about overflow of the table size.
Matthias suggested to use -mxgot. However, unfortunatelly, we
may lose binary compatibility (said by Thiemo). Thiemo said
it's nicer than multiGOT. OTOH, multiGOT is to have multiple
GOT - Daniel suggested it. He said binutils should be fixed
if it does not work. Note that multiGOT is firstly supported
by Alexandre Oliva in binutils 2.15 development.
In debian-mips, there were discussions about gcj compilation problem.
David Daney replied to Matthias that the current binutils + glibc
should work without any GOT problems:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mips/2004/10/msg8.html
I don't know which technically correct is. However, it's
long-standing problem, and not glibc problem. This bug should
actually be considered, but it's not sarge's target. I downgrade it
to important and reassign it to binutils. If you have another
opinion, let us know.

Does this problem come from glibc's compilation problem?

Do you know what's the actual problem?

This needs _two_ sets of those objects then, because a link employing
multigot will silently break over xgot objects.
> (at least that's the way mozilla succeeded to build).
Actually, no, mozilla uses the standard gcc/libc objects. It believe it
happens to work because those objects are linked in earlier, so their
GOT entry offset doesn't exceed the limit.

the way mozilla succeeded to build).
