I see.  Well, the real question is whether this symbol needs to be
dynamic.  If it does, then you can't allow it to be hidden.  That
would best be accomplished by writing a mips elf_backend_hide_symbol
function, which is nicer than adding another field used by only one
target to struct elf_link_hash_entry.
