 Thanks.  I remember trying to link ELF inputs into ECOFF output when 
building the MIPS/Linux kernel many years ago.  That was already fragile.  
I dare not ask what happens when mixed formats are used for input.  Hell 
will probably freeze over.  Twice.

 I have committed this change now and closed the bugzilla issue.  I have 
pushed the PROVIDE_HIDDEN tests as well.  Thanks for going through all 
this.
