&& (target_flags_explicit & MASK_EXPLICIT_RELOCS) == 0)
target_flags &= ~MASK_EXPLICIT_RELOCS;

- There are two problems here:
-
- (1) The value of an R_MIPS_GOT16 relocation depends on whether
- the symbol is local or global. We therefore need to know
- a symbol's binding before referring to it using %got().
-
- (2) R_MIPS_CALL16 can only be applied to global symbols.
-
- When not using -funit-at-a-time, a symbol's binding may change
- after it has been used. For example, the C++ front-end will
- initially assume that the typeinfo for an incomplete type will be
- comdat, on the basis that the type could be completed later in the
- file. But if the type never is completed, the typeinfo will become
- local instead. */

addresses. The alternative, selected by @option{-mno-explicit-relocs},
is to use assembler macros instead.
-@option{-mexplicit-relocs} is usually the default if GCC was configured
-to use an assembler that supports relocation operators. However, the
-combination of @option{-mabicalls} and @option{-fno-unit-at-a-time}
-implies @option{-mno-explicit-relocs} unless explicitly overridden.
-This is because, when generating abicalls, the choice of relocation
-depends on whether a symbol is local or global. In some rare cases,
-GCC will not be able to decide this until the whole compilation unit
-has been read.
