That is true, but mips targets that follow the way mips-sgi-irix* broke the ELF
standard sort symbols like this, sections symbols first, including any global
section symbols, then all other symbols.

If you'd like the usual order, choose a mips target that has "trad" in the
target_defvec specified in bfd/config.bfd.

> $ mips64-none-elfabi64-ld -m elf32btsmip sym-order-test.o
> mips64-none-elfabi64-ld: sym-order-test.o: .symtab local symbol at index 11
> (>= sh_info of 8)
> mips64-none-elfabi64-ld: sym-order-test.o: error adding symbols: bad value
OK, so now you're trying to link using a traditional order target.
