You might want to submit the code in this state then, in the hopes
that this will then enable other developers to build the mips-qnx port
and maybe even help find the dynamic linking problem.

This looks like MIPS magic to me, so I am not going to be of much help
to you. :-(

I am a little bit worried about this.  Does this apply to *all* MIPS
ELF ports or just the QNX one ?

This is very similar to the code in mips_elf_record_global_got_symbol() 
so I would guess that you are doing the right thing here.  Maybe. :-)
