I think some platforms use 32bit GOT by default or something like that such
that Mozilla is not a problem. I don't know if it is a good idea for Linux.
As for the -multigot option for ld, I have an impression from the man page
that it is a linker feature and you don't need to modify the compiler. If
it is true, we should investigate the possibility. Unfortunately, I don't
know how -multigot works on mips.
