The root cause of this is that the mips linker synthesizes a special

a version script is present, this symbol gets versioned along with
all the rest, and when it is time to take its address, the symbol
can no longer be found as it has had version information appended to
its name.
Why not just change
&& (strcmp (name, "__rld_map") == 0
|| strcmp (name, "__RLD_MAP") == 0))
to
&& (strncmp (name, "__rld_map", 9) == 0
|| strncmp (name, "__RLD_MAP", 9) == 0))
in _bfd_mips_elf_finish_dynamic_symbol? Perhaps the same for other
syms there too?
Because that doesn't work. Perhpas I should have been a bit more
detailed in my description of what is happening (at least in one case).
If the version script contains something like:
{
global: main;
local: *;
};
Then "__RLD_MAP" gets hidden and we never see it in
_bfd_mips_elf_finish_dynamic_symbol().
This hiding gets done precisely in _bfd_elf_link_assign_sym_version()
after the version information is calculated. So as the patch stands, we
bail out of _bfd_elf_link_assign_sym_version() before the symbol is
hidden (or modified in any way).
It is possible that 'no_sym_version' is not the best name for the flag,
but I think we really some sort of flag to exclude ABI symbols from
being mangled in _bfd_elf_link_assign_sym_version().
