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.
