It does seem to be correct.  From gcc/config/mips/elf.h:

    { ".text.", ".gnu.linkonce.t." },                                      \
    { ".rodata.", ".gnu.linkonce.r." },                                    \
    { ".data.", ".gnu.linkonce.d." },                                      \
    { ".sdata.", ".gnu.linkonce.s." }                                      \

and similarly in gcc/config/elfos.h.  So the dot is always there.
Probably the other places should have the dot too, in case we ever run
out of letters, but it's not exactly an urgent problem...

OK, I'll commit it.
